We have been proposed by the Pella municipality to aid them in creating a museum for the ancient greek warrior.It will span from the earliest documentation existing and themed from the Trojan war up to the fall to the roman empire.However i am at a loss from all the data one should gather. I have started gathering information and all help will be welcome. Manning imperial and local craftsmen were suggested but Iliad armaments are even harder to find.Help!
