The boeotian shield as a shield device is not that rare. Some place I have an old reference on the boeotian shield and its use in heraldry- linking it back to the ancient Labrys or double-axe. If you are curious, email me and I'll try to find it for you. I think the current consensus is that the "boeotian" shield never existed and was a construct of artists.

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!"
