<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 4046947, member: 72790"]I don't know. More to the point how would the Romans know what the Mycenaean figure of eight shield look like as it was many centuries before this denarius was minted with this shaped shield? Were there extant wall painted images from that period of Greek history still around? Is there a description in Homer of such shields?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
