Talk about 'off the shelf' kranoi......

I rather favour the second shelf down, far right....think it's the pretty blue colour!

Yep, those are all very well preserved! *Drools a bucketload*
We only have one Corinthian in Sweden, as far as I know... and it's extremely fragmentary!
... Must... go... to... Olympia... NOW!

I was also wondering if the shoulder fitting from the linothorax (that is what it looks like) is Macedonian....?

No it s the 8-ray star of Apollo used as an amulet.
The Macedonian is 16-ray star.

Nice helmets indeed! I saw them from 10-inches far, this April!
Damn! I don't own yet a digital photo-camera, to post you SO INTERESTING photos from many museums I've been.
Hopefully, this August I'll have a digital camera... when I'll go a 9-days trip to ALL Sicily Ancient Hellenic city-states's areas!
I guess, I WILL take many interesting photos and I'll share them with you...
Great to having you around, dear "hoplite14gr"! A WELL-KNOWN person, to correcting all the non-Hellenes that LOVE Ancient Hellas, but they are confused in some issues... Indeed, this is the "Phivos'" 8-ray star, not the 16-ray of Macedon's Kingdom.
