Quote:With the two grips could the man on the left possibly overlap his shield far enough to grab his buddy's grip? Might make for a tighter phalanx.
We discussed that possibility a while back, but I doubt it. First I think there would be mention someplace of such a behavior and it is not a consistant feature of aspises. Second, as you can see the opposite side grip is found on non-aspises that could not be used to form a phalanx. It must have some other use.

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
