Hello goonmasterflex You can find several scans of line drawings of Greek warriors with their weapons, scanned from Costumes of the Greeks and Romans by Thomas Hope, at http://www.costumes.org/pages/books/hope/hopegreek3.htm Click on the thumbnails to get a proper view of each picture. Some photographs of real Greek armor and weapons plus a verbal description from the Shefton Museum of the University of Newcastle, UK can be found at http://www.ncl.ac.uk/shefton-museum/arms/armsindex.html There are some problems with the site. Not all the pictures downloaded when I visited it. Pictures of a sword and spear http://www.spc.cc.tx.us/english/photo/greekweapons.htm On the pages of Eclectic Historian, you can see a picture of a reproduction naue-type sword, a long bronze sword as used around 1200 BC http://www.eclectichistorian.net/Griffzungenschwert/ There are also pictures of the Greek hoplite sword and kopis curved sword the thumbnails are about halfway down the page, and you can click on them to get larger pictures http://www.eclectichistorian.net/Roman/ Here are some photographs of people re-enacting Spartan warriors http://legion-fourteen.com/greeks.htm A reproduction Greek sword in scabbard http://www.kopes.com/swords/greekwarrior.htm A model of a Greek catapult from the Smith College Museum of Ancient Inventions http://www.smith.edu/hsc/museum/ancient_inventions/hsc11b.htm |
