Mykale, a naval battle?

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

But these were supposed to be small shields tied to the upper arm,correct? This explains the leather straps and the lack of handle. They're made exactly the same way as the dura shields,only those are bigger.
The more i look the persian relief,the more it seems to me we see the front of the shield. Part of his clothes and right hand are hidden behind the shield,and this can't happen if we see the back.
