Theban Army, Battle of Luectra

[lupus]

Weapons were inherited from father to son.
Many Beotians would have then chalkidic corinthian or captured attic helmets.
the cavalry would favor the beotian helmet.
Demosthenes spoke more than 100 years after the battle and perhaps he was exagerating. Corinthian helmets were found in the tomp of the Plateans in Marathon.
Many troops would wear boots. Especially the cavalrymen. Pilos helmet would be popular for reasons of cost and ease of manufacture. Check Greek footwere thread for shoes and the issue of naked feet.
Their shield designs are still under research unless you take the easy way out and copy the coins.
Kind regards

Indeed, Stefane... Nice comments.
