Round Peltast shields
#13
Thracian Peltast shield devices are more difficult to pin point than hoplite ones. A lecythos in the National Museum in Athens in combination with the location of the find and a combination of Herodotus writings and 19th century books gives indication about the Dologae shield devices.
I sent the images and evidence to the editors of Ancient Warfare magazine.
If they publish it you are in for a treat.

N. Segunda reconstructed the Thessalian based on heavily on the coins of Pellina in Thessaly. We do not know how the "light" shileds were constructed.
The possibilities of how they could have been made are endless.

Kind regards
