Ancient Greek shield, bearing the Delphic Sign. The Delphic Epsilon and inverted Epsilon is related to man’s initiation into the light. It was the symbol of the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, where the cult of the Sun was practiced as Apollo was the god of the Sun. The shield, aspis in Greek, was carried by Greek infantry (hoplites) of various periods and is often referred to as a hoplon. The shield comes with a marble stand and it is not a full size shield.
