I have seen estimates for the price of a hoplite panoply in fifth-century Greece in a few places. Are these based upon actual sources, or just a guess? (Especially considering that a full panoply with muscled cuirass, greaves, and Corinthian helm might have cost ten times as much as barely adequate gear of an aspis, bronze cap, spear and knife). Does anyone know where these figures originate?

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
