The photos of the event are wonderful! Very atmospheric, especially with the right backgrounds....
Just a suggestion, not a criticism, the Hoplite impressions could be improved by some accurate sleevelesschitons, rather than inaccurate 'Roman' sleeved tunics ( the Classic greek chiton has neck and arm openings at the top, which produces the uneven hem......unlike Roman tunics with armholes at the side). They are fastened by pins....
Being a simple one piece of cloth, they would be cheap and easy to produce, and would certainly give the excellent impressions a better and more accurate look.......
