Question about the origin of the Greek hoplite shield
#39
i happened upon this little clay shield from 7th century Cyprus. Note that it has a boss and a central hand-grip and a boss, but interestingly it also seems to have the bands that we see supporting the later porpax.

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!"
