Good afternoon, all.
I'll introduce myself first. I'm Hermann (from Canada) and I currently do early Kievan Rus and Zaporozhian (Ukrainian) cossack impressions. I want to get into classical Greek era hoplite reenactment, and possibly Mycenaean era reenactment later on.
Seeing that this is already a thread on linothorax design, I would like to ask a question: What do you think of animal skins, bones, teeth, and furs being used for decoration on the armour? I've had plenty of difficulty trying to determine what degree the ancient Greeks used animal parts for armour. This disappoints me because Greek history has always been an area of great interest. If there is anyone out there with some input, I'll greatly appreciate your help.
Cheers,
HK
