Marcus, I beg you not to use leather vambraces! VERY Hollywood, indeed. There were vambraces found with the Dendra panoply, traditionally dated to 1400 BC (but younger than that once the chronology is cleaned up). And all the Geometric and Archaic examples already mentioned. I've just never seen anything that suggested hoplites (or legionaries!) wore metal or leather vambraces any time after c. 550 BC. The modern urge to put something on the ancient wrist is still a puzzle to me!

Khairete,

Matthew
