Thermopylae 480BC (Great Battles of the World)

[hoplite14gr]

The items are both "red faced" Attic pottery.
Both are mid 5th century roughly after the first Peloponnesian War.
Athenians are consolidating their alliance.

The top is related with Evoia and the bottom with Thessaly.
The shield appears very much with horsemen who sometimes carry it strapped on their back in "black faced" pottery

Check the cavalry threads. Horsemen did carry shields.
I will try a reconstruction and tell you. So far no "beotian" survived complete

Kind regards
