Quote:Although the armlet that Paul posted is on the shield arm and probaly some jewelry in my opinion.
I agree, it must be mostly decorative to be under the aspis. Have you seen anything like this type of armlet?
On a related note, I've always been amazed that we don't see more forearm guards or at least wrist-bands to keep the sweat of the arm off the hand. Perhaps if they almost always held the dory overhand this was not needed.

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
