AWA183 - Did the Silver Shields lose effectiveness as they grew old?
Murray tackles this question on the Silver Shields.
Do we have any evidence that the Silver Sheilds' actual combat effectiveness began to diminish as they grew old? How much of it was true strength and how much of it was fearsome reputation? How unique were these 'old' veterans in ancient warfare?
