[Dan Howard]

Depends upon what you mean by “use”. Alexander took these “arms” or “panoply” (Diod.17.18.1). Whilst Diodorus claims that Alexander used the arms which he took at the Granicus, Arrian is plain in stating (twice) that the arms were “carried before” him by the royal hypaspists.

Alexander left his own armour as a sacrifice at Troy. He then took some armour from there as a replacement. If he didn't wear the Trojan armour then he used another armour from his collection. Either way it is fairly certain that he wore at least three different armours during his campaign. The one he had when he visited Troy; the one he put on after he left Troy; and the linen war booty he wore at Gaugamela.
