weapons and armour of the greek marine
#24
Julius Pollux in his Onomastikon speaking about the weapons of the trireme's crew.
"ta de ton empleonton aspides,thorakes,knimides,krani,ksifi,dorydrepana,xeires sidirai"
"those on deck shields,cuirasses,greaves,helmets,swords,sickle spears,'iron hands'"
Here the text in Greek,in the first paragraph
http://www.hellenicpantheon.gr/Pollux1a.htm
So the marines could be fully armed with greaves and thorakes.
