Quote:... his information on the thyreos is mostly correct, but then he goes and illustrates it with a hexagonal and rectangular shield - two types which only really came into use after the Hellenistic period.

I did wonder about those myself. I don't think I have EVER seen any Greek or Hellenistic shields shown in such obvious later Roman form.
