Strabo – “Geography”
“There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis. Then, a little further on, Strabo mentions Cypsela and the Hebrus River, and also describes a sort of parallelogram in which the whole of Macedonia lies.”

480 <strong>THE</strong> ROUND SHIELD.<br />
<strong>by</strong> the fact that the old Roman shield was circular, fitted with<br />
a boss, and made of leather, or in other words, it exactly corresponded<br />
to the shield of the Homeric Acheans. But we have<br />
seen that the Umbro-Latin stock had come down into Italy<br />
from the Alps, that is, the very region where the Halstatt<br />
culture had its birth. The movement of the Acheans down into<br />
Greece corresponds to that of the Italic tribes down into Italy.<br />
In both the Italian and Balkan peninsulas oblong shields,<br />
whether oval with indented sides, or rectangular, but always<br />
bossless, seem to have been indigenous. This survived in<br />
Arcadia in the Boeotian buckler, also in the old Thracian<br />
pelafa carried <strong>by</strong> the Curetes in their rites and in the ancile<br />
borne <strong>by</strong> the Salii. As then the circular shield with the boss<br />
entered Greece from the north, it must have come with one<br />
of the bodies of fair-haired invaders. But the Acheans were<br />
such a people, and their typical shield is that of upper Europe.<br />
We may therefore reasonably infer that the fair-haired Acheans<br />
had come down into Greece and brought with them the culture<br />
of Hallstatt.<br />
