A hearty greeting to you and your crew. Where are you based? Good to see another real man wearing a himation instead of those girly chitons

I has a good day celebrating the completion of two new helmets, enjoying retsina and good Greek food.

Hey! Congratulations there! Nice helmets. How do you define yourself? Cavalryman of the 4th century bc? Your thorax does remind me of the earlier styles. Close up photos?

Is that a Deepeeka Boeotian helmet?

Thank you Giannis. The kilim was from Cesar last Febrary. It is incredibly warm. It kept me warn in a dog tent last March with frost all around me. I suspect it is a little like wearing a hair shirt. I'm sure I deserve it.
I do like the Aristion stele, but the javelins are in fact a happy coincidence. They are remains of a kontos.....

It certainly looks like a decent one, so possibly. I havent started my Greek equipment yet!
