No, there is the Vatican one, and also the one in the Agora Museum in Athens.
There may be more, those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.
I have pics of the Vatican one on my FB page.

What you are looking at are the upper rivets for the porpax. The lower rivets are not seen because the shield is damaged, but you can see where they were. It is an interesting feature of the aspis that the porpax is only riveted where the cuff portion joins the shield face. The long strap extending up and down is not secured to the face in the shields I know of.

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!"
