Hey everyone,
I'm in the beginnings of creating a kit. This is my first time researching ancient Greek history with any sort of seriousness, so bear with my ignorance on some matters.
Attached is a rough of sketch of my best conclusions after some brief preliminary research, of a CA 500 BC Lacedaemonian Hoplite.
There are some points I am unsure about.
-Spartan shoes - When did these come into vogue?
- Corinthian helm - "ear cutouts at 500BC or not?" (I chose 510BC - 500BC to avoid the Pilos helm altogether, so if need be ill go earlier)
- Scales on the Tube and Yoke cuirass - Is the amount of scales attached here reasonable or did I overdo it?
Id welcome anyone who would like to point out ANY inaccuracies with this sketch. Sources are appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
