Greetings all!
I'm new here- This is my first post(actually reply to start with as you can see)
I'll post a formal introduction in the other section soon- but had to jump in on this topic first.
I've been a long time student and scholar on ancient warfare with an emphasis on Greece and the rest of Europe.
I am thrilled to find this thread on a very obscure (but very special to me) period ; I'm so glad to finally see on this site or any other at least one thread devoted to warriors and warfare in the Greek Dark Age (Geometric/Archaic) periods.
First let me ask Comerus Gallus Romus- Gioi-- that wonderful Connolly painting you posted a while back I think was from his "The Greek Armies"- the same one I think was being talked about for a while and may have been the same one you said was also published in that Encyclopedia- the Late geometric/Early Archaic one with the two forces clashing together (if I remember correctly) App. 8th century B.C. ? With Early Corinthians, Argos Panoply based armours, etc.-- seems to have been deleted- could you or someone else please repost it? and let me ask this, as I recently bought an older copy of Connolly's "the Greek Armies" having heard that this plate was in it- It had one new Mycenaean plate and a small second one, with were quite nice, but not this Dark Age one or any others unique to this edition and not in his "Greece and Rome at War" could someone please explain this- was there more than one altered edition of that same title?
Thanks for any help and info.
Glad to be here!
Jon.
