I've not touched my Greek books for years now, but I'm 'pretty certain' that early iron age hoplites used vambraces. Although I could be getting my history mixed up with my extensive RuneQuest roleplaying campaigns ... :0

EDIT: According to John Warry, Illyrian (8th CBC) hoplites used vambraces. Of course bronze age warriors did, they were part of the Dendra panoply, I believe.
