Detachable Porpax
#16
Or perhaps an ancient hoplite 6'3'' was such an exception that nobody could stand next to him and looking normal :lol: All the porpaxes in the sculptures above are not only more to the right of the center,but further upand right. I think the shield size had more to do with the individual's preferences and ability to walk and run without the shield interfering with their legs. You can't walk easily with a very wide shield held in front of you,like in the phalanx.
