Mathew,
I saw your reconstruction of the bronze age shield.
I saw the "Chigi Vase" and some archaic era depictions.
I am tempted to think that a hoplton with denser intelocated wooden planks than your reconstruction is not necessarily ahistorical.

In my opinion the wooden heavy shield gradualy evolved to give the hoplite "punching power" at first clash. Any thoughts?

Kind regards
