I am making a movie about thermopylae, is this armor list accurate to recreate a spartan hoplite from 480 BC
... Red/White color sceme linen cuirass ...
I am very dubious about the Spartans ever wearing this kind of cuirass - colourwise - regardless of what it was made from.
I thought they had an aversion to the colour white as being a colour for women!!! If this is true - then I suspect they would have died it another colour or perhaps just used the leather 'spolas'?
