    As a US Civil War Reenactor and former medieval reenactor, you guys are AWESOME. Excellent work, literally on par with the trireme Olympias. You should be proud of yourselves. I would be.

      @@carlhicksjr8401 it seems this event will be more common (the last one was Marathon 2015) but Plataea 2024 is now confirmed! Will be a different event but i am curious as to what it will be, as these events were anniversaries, sadly thermopylae was missed due to the pandemic.

      It was such an honour, and at the same time, almost unbelievable that we were where they were 2500 years ago. We walked the same fields they did 2500 years ago, we fought each other the same place they did 2500 years ago.... it is surreal

      @@kongming66 it would depend on what the individual chose to purchase. Helmet and greaves do appear to be common first pieces, as the shield defends much of ths body, but there were no rules on what one had to buy in order. In this case, one of the fighters did not have greaves so in order to make it a fair fight the other decided not to wear his :)

      The sarissae you are talking about didn't show up until more than 100 years later and especially pre Peloponnesian War Hoplite kits were anything but uniform. Since one opponent did not have greaves at hand, the other went greaveless too for fair game. I think the deep love and respect between the contestants is visible:)
