I love the family picture. And the helmet!
The Marathon pictures are great. I also really like the Macedonian hypaspist. Last weekend I had a hoplite afternoon. This is a Boeotian Hoplite from the late 5th century. High boots, Pilos and sword held ready for use against a decorated internal face of the shield. With a nod to the grave relief of Rhynchon in the Thebes Archaeological Museum. I own two pairs of “off the shelf” greaves neither of which fit me. I’ll stick to boots. [attachment=1790]IMG_5457-Copy.JPG[/attachment]

Byron, Thermopylae in ten years!!! You have more than enough time to be ready to be there. You and everybody else!
John, i simply love the boeotian impression :-) A couple of grave stones came to life! And yes, late 5th/ early 4th century hoplites seem to have worn boots more often than greaves! I won't comment to Cole's photos because, well, i WAS there! But i will say that Cole is intimidating in his kit, if you see him live. Khairete Giannis

Ten year....I'll be old enough to play Leonidas by then!! lol
Well, I am hoping to have something ready by 2014, but possilby nothing like I would like! I should have started on this in 2001 when I was first rekindling my interest in my Greek roots! Why didn't they invent broadband 10 years earlier :lol: You kit looks excellent Giannis!

Here's another of me with a little help from Photoshop to remove the Lunt Fort's Granary from the background.
