This armor can splenditly reanct from Archaic Roman to hellenistic Italian mercenary of the Italiotic colonies.
Well done.

Kind regards

Honest question,did the Apulians ever actually wear corinthian helmets? Perhaps your friend could add a lot of padding and make it an apulocorinthian Big Grin

Based on grave findings we know there was lots of trade and exchange of goods. So the corinthian is not ahistorical.

Kind regards

If one of those finds was a corinthian though,this would fully answer to my question.

It depends on the period. The splendid tomb from Ginosa, dated to the 6th century BC, included both a Corinthian and an Apulo-Corinthian helmet. Other tombs from Lucania include Corinthians, from the same period. HOWEVER, it's anachronistic with the short cuirass shown in the photos, which dates to the 4th century BC. The arm-guard is also earlier, and as far as I know, restricted to central Italy. Full length greaves are not unknown, but for Apulia the more typical type is the short calf-guard.

There is absolutely no evidence that the Romans ever wore the bronze "Samnite" belt. The helmet is about a century too early, the cuirass about a century too late for a 5th century impression. It does look cool, though. 8)

Very nice. Congratulations. The people sound excited.
Do you think the phraze "Zeus Soter-Nike" was said in turn by different units,similar to some slogans used by fans in football stadiums? Where the one is kind of responce to the other?

Giannis,

If it wouldn't offend you, I am going to borrow your Linothorax design as my pattern for my next project. I really like the look of it. It has a very clean look to it. Great job!

Re: Show here your Greek warrior impression - Giannis K. Hoplite - 05-20-2008

Thanks Chris. Not only I wouldn't be offended,but this is the reason I have shown its construction here many times. I'd like to see it made with even more accurate construction than mine. Believe it or not,I had made another linothorax like mine for a guy (he payed the matterials and helped me a bit in construction) and I didn't take a photo of it. And it was better painted than mine... A pity,I haven't seen this guy or the linothorax for about three years or more!

I finally can add an impression here. A 5th century Corinthian Hoplite that I have put a LOT of work into and done most of it myself. I am very proud of it even with its imperfections. The spear will be replaced with a more accurate one in two months or so.
