Round Peltast shields

[Pericles of Rhodes]

Thanks Stefanos!

I havn't heard of these open order troops before.

Did these open order troops have a particular name or where they just hoplites.

how where they used in battle?

did they wear full hoplite panoply except for a smaller aspis and no dory as the paintings suggest? did these hoplites carry smaller aspises and a javalin or two?

Thanks!
