Ancients => defend yourself!! => show me your shields!!

I haven't bought any new coins lately, but I need to scratch my itch to post!!

=> so I figured a thread showing "shields" might be kinda interesting?

Ummm, I guess if shields is a bit to constrictive, we could also include armour and even weapons?

... but I'm gonna start off by posting a few coins with shields on 'em ...
















Huh? ... is the last one a shield or a wheel? (close enough, right?)


=> so you get the idea ... post your coins with shields (ummm, and maybe armour and/or weapons if you don't have any shields)

=> "Implements of Battle" ... that's what I should have a called this thread!!

=> try to spot the shield!!

Oh well, I'm gonna post a few more and then scram for a while ... I hope somebody out there has a shield, or fifty?

Great coins, guys - a thread worth studying. Jerry, it's a holiday weekend in the US - Labor Day and all. There may not be as much traffic as usual, and weekends are pretty slow anyway. It'll pick up.
