Question about aspis/hoplon shield
#28
Quote:I believe that the shield itself should be deeper with enough of a ledge that it can rest on the shoulder if need be.
If you haven't seen it, you might be interested in Henry Blyth's sketch of the Bomarzo shield remains, particularly the fragment preserving the angle of the rim. (The scale is in centimetres.)
