Right,tinned bronze is a possibility to me. The helmet behind Alexander may be iron,as well. Bear in mind that there have been found gold covered greaves, gorgets and even spears in Macedonian tombs. These were "royal", however and it is indeed extraordinary to think of a silver shield phalanx of 8000 soldiers! After al,it is inpractical.
