Quote:Yes, but those aged 20 and above tended to their crops during the harvest season, no time to work out then (Sparta is an exception, of course)?

Reservist refresher training. It is practiced even today. And they served periodicaly in groups. Campaign season also was short.
That is why the Delian League started giving cash subsidies and started relying on mercenaries for longer and far away campaigns.
Kind regards.

Admins, can we have the GREEK staff here please?

Kind regards

By 'staff' you mean 'stuff' I presume?

Don't you dare. Take it up with David Xavier Kenney :twisted: Do you want the gladius in the Greek section as well? :wink:

Well actually I was intersted only in the weights provided for Greek armor.
That is the "stuff" I was talking about Jasper-forgive my bad english
:oops:

Kind regards

And a good thing too :wink:
