Vambraces

Agree with Paul. Late Geometric and Archaic period warriors were something like "foot-knights and the armies were possibly smaller thn the Classical era.
A russian miniture company reconstructed one such warrior in the following link.

The horned helmet actually exists in Geneva Museum and was found in Taranto!
When the Culure ministry here display the "Thebes arsenal" we might see what the Bronze age vambraces looked like.
Kind regards
