:lol: The thieving according to Herodotus was done by many cultures including the Greeks. The Greeks however were the first to start a war over it. Still it is a good reason for a mano y mano confrontation. :roll: No need to destroy an empire. :wink:
Thanks for the Compliment!
There are many that think the Trojans were a Kingdom more like the Hittites as they were long time allies. The Kit probably would be very similar (Spears,Shields,Armor,etc.) but with different cultural influences. Unfortunately I haven't found much in the way of period arms and armor except for "possibly or maybe" this is Trojan or Greek. The exact date of the War is still contested so for now I am waiting for more evidence. The Figure 8 shield is still an argument from what I have read but think it existed as a wicker frame covered with oxhide like most early shields up to the African Zulu warriors. Light and agile enough for extended use in single combat.
