Quote:P.S. Paul the Greek colonies in Spain had been established from 800 B.C as trading posts and Massalia (Marselles) is said to be older than 650 B.C.
So Greeks were aware of these shields and I trust you saw the link in the thread I mentioned.

....if you are thinking of Gallic shields, the earliest depiction of Gallic use of th 'long' rectangular ovoid shield is the 4th century Hallstadt scabbard, AFIK. Celts did not have the scutum/thureoi -type shield until they saw it in Italy, after their invasion of the Po valley.
