Questions (linothorax, sandals, Spartan moustache)
#14
Linothorax became more popular because after the colapse of palace culture bronze became not so easily available in Classical Greece.
Also the democratic reforms increasing suddenly the number of hoplites in the city states required increased resources.
Linr became an option for the hard pressed logistic of the Era.
For exmple Arcahic spear points are bronze-classical are from iron.
Bronze could be reused with the tech level of the time not iron.

Spartan would be more metal-armored army in Greece initially but attrition would step up the increase of the linothorax.

Kind regards
