Shields of the Athenian Marines?
#4
Okay, gentlemen. It was just a question. I was just under then impression - from my inexpert education so relax, OK - that the main virtue of the aspis was all the other aspides next to you.

That, and the 14 pounds of it, and the situation in which you're using a weapon system designed for open field combat on a pitching, flat, narrow, unrailed deck, makes me think that perhaps - just perhaps! - the shield of choice might not be the one that is designed to protect the guy to your left.
