More a Classicists' war than a reenactor's, but how were ancient war galleys above a trieres rowed? Bonus points if you think you can describe and identify different regional traditions.
and ... who invented the trieres- the Greeks or Phoenecians? And when? and ... what precisely did Marius change in the Roman army? and ... how long and widely were Iphicratid hoplites used?

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.

How was made a genuine subarmalis, a thoracomacus ?
What was the preise use/meaning of the horsehead buckles in UK ? What's the purpose of the chest stripe/harness on late roman/byzantine soldiers ? Was the fashion universal from the burning sands of Arabia to the mists of Caledonia ? How were fitted mail caps ? bye,
