Painted cuirasses

[Nikic031]

So if one painted on shields, why not other types of armour?

I think I learned from this forum that not all shields were bronze facing...
Maybe bronze ones were not even painted,especially because I believe some colors in vases, actually represent material,not paint.And some may have only be used for purpose of contrast...This is why I say after all, in three color painting you can not take anything for granted.

When I said I am not interested in Hellenistic period I did not want to offend you.I see you are from Macedonia.
Don't know about attitude towards color,but attitude of soldiers in general changed heavily.That is exactly why I am not interested in that period.
