weapons and armour of the greek marine
#34
If marines were fully armed in roman times,in a ship with the same dimentions and the same usage as the classical trireme,I don't see why classical marines should be thought as lighter armed.And especially as Pollux,speaking about ancient armies describes them with cuirass,greaves,helmet and everything.Except for the general tendency to lighter armor in the end of the fifth century,is there anything else to suggest Athenian marines were lighter armed?
