Armor in the late fifth century bc.
#21
Quote:In addition to Giannis' example of a soldier fined for fighting 'naked'/unarmoured

Out of interest is the translation literally 'unarmoured/naked' or unequipped? Is there a distinct word when talking about a hoplite not having a shield or body armour?
Could it not be interpreted that he fought not equipped as a hoplite, rather than not wearing any armour?
Not trying to cause controversy! I just find the interpretations of certain words quite interesting!
