Hello My Greek Friends!
I was in Athens a couple of times, and was quite dissappointed not to be able to find any authentic, wearable hoplite reproductions while Iwas there! ( I finally sucumbed to the temptation and bought the tourist version of the corinthian helmet in the Plaka! Boy, was I dissappointed when I got back to the hotel and found it was too small to wear!!!!
I think it would be a great idea to form a re-enactment group in athens, I often fantasised about doing just that when I finally manage to buy a home in Greece!
Anyway, good luck, and try looking at Manning Imperial on the website. So far the best corinthian helmet recronstruction I have seen .
Maybe will do group discounts?
Sincerely
Byron Angel(opoulos)
