Did Pyrrhus designate any of his Pike units in Italy by special designations such as the Silver or Bronze Shields? Thanks in advance. |

There's a reference to his Tarantine allies as a "white-shielded phalanx", but that's all we have. |

That's the only one I could find as well. Thanks Gurkhan! |

The latest Osprey on Pyrrhus' army assumes bronze faced embossed shields, based on Macedonian types and Epirote coins.
Units in the Epirote army are designated by their territorial origins Ambraciots, Molossians, Epirotes, Chaeonians, plus Macedonians. link |
