Don’t know if anyone’s seen it but there’s quite a good article on the osprey website by Nicholas Sekunda on hoplite shield designs. Link is here -

There’s also articles by the same author on Greek Military Cuisine and Greek swords and swordmanship amongst others here –

The article recommends a book called ‘The shield devices of the Greeks in art and literature’ by George Henry Chase with 268 different shield blazons, collected chiefly from vase paintings.

Apologies if these have already been mentioned!

Hope this is of help or interest to people!
