Armor in the late fifth century bc.
#7
Sorry Guys, but after re-reading your responses it seems that I have missed the point :oops: . Is the apparent decline in armor actually unremarkable? And hoplites were always typically armed and armored to the extent they could afford? Or in the case of 'state issue' equipment, what the state could afford?
