SPARTAN SHIELD SCULPTURE
It would not be unusual for a man to go to battle equipped in his fathers and grandfathers shield. This added even more weight to their commitment to fight, to drop your ancestral weapons and shield and run would be seen as a disgrace on multiple levels.
"With it or on it." Spartan mothers said it while giving their sons shields before their high quality first battle. With it = victorious hero; on it = fallen hero; without it = coward.
