Need some help
#6
In the Archeological Museum in Athens exist at least two known copies of the kopis. One with a very warped blade shows evidence that there was a "peroni" like handguard for the knuckles.
The other one is more "falcata-like" and has a pelekan head with a beack decoration that could serve as a knuckle-guard..
Please keep in mind that troops from the Greek colonies of Western Mediteranean would look too exotic to main land Greece.
Hoplites from Phokea (modern Marseille) could have carried Spanish type swords or celtic daggers or other more "exotic-barbaric" weapons or armor.
Do not forget combat looting or the extensive trade networks.
Kind regards
Stefanos
