Most of the Warfare in ancient Greece was fought by heavy infantrymen called Hoplites. These warriors formed citizen-militia which was primarily made up of middle-class men. Almost all the famous men of ancient Greece, even the philosophers and playwrights, fought as hoplites at some point in their lives. Our Hoplites Helm is hand forged from 16 gauge steel and is hand polished. The large plume is made from horse hair and provided the illusion that the warrior was larger and more intimidating. This is a fully functional piece of armor and one of the most commonly associated with Greek soldiers.
