Quote:Olympia Museum for thigh guards and arm guards plus contemporary Etruscan statuetes.
Thank you Stefanos, I did find a very interesting photo of an arm guard at the Olympia Museum website, along with many helmets, shield emblems etc but I could not find an image of thigh guards, I actually spent about an hour viewing the many photos contained in the e-book posted at the site, well worth the visit! hock:
