Bronze Age Greek Shields

Most people would imagine a classical Hoplite Corinthian helmet, muscle-shaped breastplate, a heavy round shield and a spear when they think about the ancient Greek. Those are the Greeks at the dawn of the Iron Age. The history of ancient Greece however can be traced to a much earlier period The Mycenaean civilization, where ironworking has yet to be discovered, and chariot warfare still reign supreme.

The Mycenaean Greek used several different designs of shield the Fgure-of-Eight shield, the "Proto-Dipylon" shield and what modern archaeologists dubbed the Tower Shield. These shields were made of several layers of bull hide stitched to a wicker and wooden structure, sometime reinforced with leather rim and metal shield boss. Some shields might also be covered with thin bronze sheet.

Most Mycenaean shields are body-length, a feature that offered a much-needed protection to their warriors, who often wore next to nothing in battle (Some Mycenaean warriors with higher social status does come with full set of armor though).
