Thanks Joe!
You should post the primary citations- one of them is probably Xenophon's description of the Athenians making weapons to toss out their occupiers.
A possible wicker precursor is discussed by Blyth and probably Snodgrass.
Quote:Paul, do you have any references to secondary literature on an archaic wicker aspis? I know of two references in the primary sources to Greek wicker aspides in the historical period
