How to make a Roman shield with cardboard
มุมมอง 48K4 ปีที่แล้ว
The Roman shield (scutum) was a type of shield used among Italic peoples in antiquity, and then by the army of ancient Rome starting about the fourth century BC. The Romans adopted it when they switched from the military formation of the hoplite phalanx of the Greeks to the formation with maniples. The Roman republican scutum lasted from the 4th century to the 1st century BC, when it changed fr...
How to make a Greek shield with cardboard

Greek phalanx used big round shields called Aspis, that protected the hoplites in the closed combat. In this video you can see how to create a Greek aspis shield out of old carboard boxes and paper mache. Firstly you need to build a mould to give the shield a curved shape.

How to make a fully functional Greek Armor with old clothes (Linothorax)
มุมมอง 49K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Ancient sources talk about a common and relatively cheap armor called Linothorax. As its name says, it should have been made of layers of linen fabric, cheaper and lighter than the metal breast armors. Even if none of them have been found there are some theories about how they could have been made: - Layers of glued fabric. This is the theory that is being reconstructed here. The layers would b...

      Well, fighting against bronze weapons and underpowered arrows only.... I don't think it be much help against modern weapons, my 30-06 would pass right through it. It was designed to stop bronze weapons and light arrows... like a 95 pound Athenian with a blunt bronze blade isn't going to cut through, neither will a arrow with a bronze tip fired from a 60 pound pull bow... bronze is pretty malleable.

  • @LordOwenLongstrider
    @LordOwenLongstrider ปีที่แล้ว

    I would suggest using a hand-roller or better yet, a rolling-pin to press the layers together better, working from the center outward to try and get all the wrinkles out and get the layers really tightly pressed together, even force the glue deeper into the fibers. Might also want to add a little bit of water to the glue, so it gets into the fibers better, maybe no more than 1/4 water to 3/4 glue.

    @simonphoenix3789 ปีที่แล้ว

    One thing about this design that doesn't make sense to me is the strings at the front. Isn't it an obvious weakness? If someone slashes that rope apart, even one of them, your armor will essentially flap around and hinder you. And it's right at the front too.

    • @brokefangmagepunk3685
      @brokefangmagepunk3685 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would guess that didn't happen often because if your wearing this you probably have a big shield and a sword or spear as well. So if they could get around your defense and offense to slice a string on your chest instead of going for the neck or other vulnerable area then your already effed😅 he's just playing with you

    "I covered the Dteruges with white and blue to make it more elegant"... To ALSO make it fittingly even more Greek in the meanwhile! This was an instructive video embedded in its simplicity. So much like your armour you have shared with us: It is very simple in its parts; but the whole is very impressive. Is there a reason you have not specifically pressed the parts with weights or so whilst they dry (Like that would have made it far too rigid to wrap around later or similar)? Or was it to basically keep the instructions as simple for all as possible (thus: the compression would present no difficulty later on in the making)?

    how can we know it's fully functional? put the armor on a dummy and shoot an arrow at it.

    • @another3997
      @another3997 ปีที่แล้ว

      To be considered functional, as with modern body armour tests, you need to specify the parameters. Armour is only tested against specific threats, and anything outside of those parameters is not likely to be stopped. So, what draw weight of bow, what weight of arrow, what type of arrowhead, how sharp and at what distance? What about spear thrusts, sword thrusts and slashes?
