making an aspis

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

The whole point of the comparison was to help our friend Ewan to decide what is his best option,since he wants to buy a new one.
As a secondary oportunity,since you asked and since this forum is all for exchanging opinions,I commented on what I think needs improvement in the HA shields.
But again,don't we all wish to see Ewan with the most accurate reconstruction of every bit of his kit? On the shield,I think that mannings offers this.That's all.
The rest of the pohtos I posted because in the past we brought the discussion about the deep/shallow late/early shield.
I don't trust the deep ones,first because the are WAY too deep and usually dishaped.And also because,although we see both types,all the bronze coverings go to the "shallow" category,as you see above.
At least,if there were more than one types of shield,these were 2 and not 3.One could be the very early,that only the rim was bronze and the other was the late archaic/classical one.
Mark,what colour are you asking about?
