weapons and armour of the greek marine
#14
Symmetrous can also mean proportional.

The fisrt contact that Greeks had with rectangular shields was at the 7th century B.C. at the western colonies
See the Dark age armies thread where I have a link that shows that they knew rectangular shields from the 8th century!

Probably Dark Age even Archaic period marines used a "special long spear" the NAYMACHON DORI. More details when I go home near my sources for that.

Kind regards
