Thank you for the link, Stefanos, I had missed the linked thread. Very interesting.
But at this innocent place :wink: : we had the discussion about the barefoot warriors, I know your arguments against and perhaps you know my arguments in favour of it. Not necessary to discuss it again.
But one question I have not asked yet: What is the reason that so many but not all Greek warriors were shown barefoot in pictures? A convention? Why? Why were the barefoot soldiers in hellenistic pictures shown much less frequently (although some were), if it was a convention? I would be interested in your thoughts about it.
