Paul,I'm surprized how you try to say that this helmet must have been bronze

and even more because you didn't comment on the Sculpture shown on the Osprey book. Together with the older black figure vase,I have shown you three cases where hoplites are shown in "full hoplite gear" but with a soft pilos.
And finally what is yout thesis.That there were no hoplites that fought in felt piloi? And that all of them wore identical mass made bronze piloi? And that the felt piloi shown in art were sun hats?
