Chaire-
I am making a movie about thermopylae, is this armor list accurate to recreate a spartan hoplite from 480 BC
-Bronze Corinthian Helmet*
-Sideways red crest on helmet
-Plain Red Tunic
-Red/White color sceme linen cuirass**
-Bronze colored aspis with red lamda***
-Spear****
-Bronze Colored Greaves***
-pleather sandals
-sword*
*made of styrofoam
**on the bottom where it is cut into strips, the ones on the inside will be black pleather
***Made of cardboard
****Sized in proportion to the mean height of actors playing spartans.
And since dienekes was a spartan officer ( right? ) would he dress the same as leonidas?
