This is just tremendous. I can see why you were excited. I'm really interested in what all the bronze strapping around the propax mount itself is. Is it just decorative? Or could it be an important structural part of the shield itself? I wish I knew more about how the aspis itself was actually made. Do you have any sources to recommend on that?
But indead this is just stupendous. The craftsmanship is superb. Are there actually three layers of bronze underneath the porpax mount or is it just chased lines that creat that effect?
With all the rivets it would be immensly stable. And it would be relitively easy to replace the porpax strap istelf when it wore out.
All I can say is, super cool!!
