Empirical testing of hoplite performance

I am guessing You need a good number of fit persons who have at least some basic drill experience and equipment that the owner doesn't mind getting banged about a bit to do. Let's say 100 sets of equipment and a company from the Greek Army for example. Throw in a couple of PHDs and a film crew a good ancient battle location and you have the basis for an interesting documentary. Cost maybe 1 million if you were frugal.
