Othismos: Classical vs Crowd Theory Othismos

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

First, Cole, i might remind you that according to Paul B's view,the shields overlap right over left. This still leaves the arm problems to be considered but the measuring might change a bit.
I have also being wondering about the angle of the aspis. I don't have one to test it myself,but i think that the shape of the shield might allow for pushing even if it's not square on. This might have been aided even more if as i believe in many shields the porpax was not centered. Interesting to see the results of the next tries.
