If you jump around threads, you'll see there is a discussion of the late Roman "fulcum" going on. It has struck me how similar this is conceptually to the sparabara. In the fulcum, at least one incarnation, 2 or three ranks stack thier shields to form a single high shield-wall. Behind this missile troops shelter and shoot. The wall was mobile enough to advance .

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!"
