greek round shields?

[DR_Reham]

Hello Reham,
I think the "shield" was actually a large tray.  Schliemann desperately wanted to find Homeric evidence.

thanks for reply . but what about a round shape in Phaistos disk, and round shape from Khania Crete dated around LM IB

and also the wooden object from Mycenae? 

There were definitely round shields in the Bronze Age; some of them "full-height". But, as Todd said, the Schliemann one isn't a shield, it was a tray or basin of some kind. A similar tray was found with the Dendra Panoply. My book has a chapter on Bronze Age shields and an appendix specifically discussing the shields in the Iliad. IMO Homeric shields were circular, including the large one carried by Hektor.
