Any current works about hoplite shield devices?
#1
Aside from G.H.Chase's 1902 The Shield Devices of the Greeks in Art and Literature, has another title been published or in the works containing newer findings?

No, unfortunately. Chase remains the only academic publication dedicated to shield devices. At least that I'm aware of and I'm quite sure if there were another, someone would have mentioned it by now. :-(
