            "content": "The anathematic epigrams centered on the dedication of a single shield are relatively scarce in the anthological corpus, with many grouped within sequence 6.124-128 (a section of a broader Meleagrean section). These epigrams can be classified into two families, differentiated by motif, but tightly interconnected through thematic and stylistic elements: the first focuses on the shield's dedication at the conclusion of a soldier's military duty, akin to numerous Hellenistic epigrams where the dedicator offers the tools of their trade upon retiring due to age, fatigue, or other reasons. In contrast, the second type emphasizes gratitude for the divine protection embodied by the shield on the battlefield, ensuring the bearer's safe return home.",
