Greetings fellow Greeks and anyone else reading this. I've started doing some reenactment events this year and I finally complete my first crafting project (a pair of sandals). So now I want to get into this action. I've been doing (as best as I can) Athenian reenactment and I'm trying to get a proper kit together. So my main question is this: what do I need?
My usual kit is my sandals, a tunic with a belt around it, and a himation. Since most the garb is borrowed from my Celtic buddy I don't often get those bright Greek colors, but I can fix that easily enough.
For my next project, which I know is a bit ambitious, I'd like to try making a linothorax. Is there a tutorial somewhere I can get on line?
Oh, and in terms of era, I do a lot of stuff with 1st century BC Celts. I know Greece had been conquered by the Romans by now so... I guess my kit should be pre-Alexandrian?
Thanks for the help.
