Were there different words for the little shield used by pikemen and the big one used by hoplites?
Just to add on to what @ProfPaul_J said, if you read French there is a good discussion of the ways that scholars have tried to make sense of the shield issue in M. Hatzopoulos, *L'organisation de l'armée macédonienne sous les Antigonides* (2001).

I honestly don't remember how well the topic gets treated in C.A. Matthew, *An Invincible Beast* (2016), but I recall having other issues with Matthews reconstructions, so
