Questions (linothorax, sandals, Spartan moustache)

[hoplite14gr]

The Tegeatic shield desighn is wrong and in archaic and in classic period. Mandinea amd Thyrea are quite stony and there is no guarantee that the crops were orderly arranged as to asume that the hoplites fought in flat terrain with grain, onion or carrot fields. The grave stelle show that a special sandal or even boot was available to the hoplites.
A man can walk and work bare foot in his own garden and field as the old people there told me. He wouldn't risk his feet in unknown terrain.
Lets get over the barefoot myth!

P.S. The only bare foot we did in "national service" was we washed our guardhouse in the border and then only on stone tiles NOT dirt!


Kind regards
