Buying Hoplite Armor in Athens?
#1
A quick question before my internet session ends... is there any re-enactment store in Athens where I may try out linothorakes and order one once I have returned to Sweden?

Thanks.

I have not spent months gathering Hoplites from the four corners of the earth just to let
some Swedish pancake in a purloined panoply lop their lower limbs off!

That is what got me into re-enacting---in a round abouts sort of way..... :lol:

Stefanos: ok, thanks for your help. For some reason I had imagined there was such a store in Athens.

That doesn't matter, really. I still had a great time in Athens visiting the Acropolis, Agora, Areopag, War Museum, Temple of Zeus, Kerameikos, and the Archaeologiocal Museum of course. Pictures will be posted soon!
