Spartan shoulder protection
#12
Ehm,people,i think we cross terms here. There are surely many,not few, upper arm guards and most of them,if not all,also cover a part of the shoulder. Olympia doesn't have one but at least four in the permanent exhibition. Who knows how many there are stored.
But would these be called "shoulder protection"? They clearly cover the elbow, and they wrap the whole upper arm like a greave,and most of them -but not all- create a cap to cover the outer part of the utmost section of the arm,essentially the shoulder. But when i said that there is not shoulder protection, i mean something the specifically covered the area from the neck to the arm. That's why i talked about the t&y cuirasses.
Spartan art i think that actually shows arm and thich protection,so the king could very well have them if he liked.
