Spolas (...thorax ek dermatos...)

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Heat should not be considered a factor...bronze cuirasses were the norm in body armour before the late 6th century. If one can wear full bronze quirass in Greece,then nothing else can be a hindrance!!! To this add leg and arm protection and above all a closed helmet,which is like putting your head in the oven,but it can be bearable. It is then orgasmic when you pull up and you feel the cool air on your face (cool no matter what's the temperature)!
