Fascinating, Stefanos,
What's the date of the incident the pot recounts? I was thinking of images like this one when I assumed that dipylon shields would have been
in use in the period before the Classical Age. If they were in use in the Archaic period, as well as the Mycenaean, that's a "life" of about 700 years. What do you think?
