Since
there are so very few artifacts in museums which have survived from the
Greco-Persian & Peloponnesian Wars era, our Living History Group 'The Hellenic Warriors'
has researched and constructed much of its own armor for classroom
display and appearances. In addition, we have commissioned armorers
from around the world to recreate the different types worn by the Greek
hoplite during the era known as 'Classical Greece' (or the 'Golden Age
of Greece'). Therefore, we are very honored to announce our
association with Daniyal Steel Craftsof India, whose artists have crafted many of the these items.
In
the first phase of the production of armor in their upcoming Battle of
Thermopylae line, DSC has created a prototype shield which is of
precise weight and specification. Upon viewing this model and its
accurate dimensions, it has been decided that it will be the standard used in the production of
future shields. Each will be individually handcrafted and painted
according to the shield blazon (emblem) which you desire. Much more to follow........
