Hi, I’ve read that in general, the weight of a hoplites equipment (bronze cuirass, greaves, helmet, shield, spear and sword) was so cumbersome that one would never (be able to) marsch in it. Instead the greeks typically had someone else carry their armor if not wheel it in a cart, then was helped to put it on at the chosen site for battle. Is this correct?
