Greek Hoplite full body armor
#1
Hello,
did anyone know someting about a "full body armor" like it seems it could be here:
http://www.trentu.ca/faculty/rfitzsimons...007-03.htm

Personaly I like the idea of having the unprotected(uncovered by shield) arm protected by
aditional armor, as well if you count how heavy was the shield, just from medical perspective it would make sence, as the disbalance of left hand to right hand would on long term kill your spine...(but that is just my speculation)
A well the forearm protector is something that I would find in battle usefull
