The helmets were originally made of animal skins, and in the process evolved into bronze and often had a horsetail at the top. Over the years, the designs changed. The warriors who returned victorious from the battlefields, showed their <a href=\"https:\/\/greekart-souvenirs.gr\/en\/product\/god-dias8752\/\">gratitude to Zeus<\/a> by offering their weapons (the so-called medals). That is the reason that ,at some particular temples of gods,archaeologists found a lot\u00a0 of weaponry.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"el-GR\"><strong><span lang=\"en-US\">The Greek battle helmet(corinthian) appears for the first time in the 7th century b.c. .\u00a0 And is known to this day as the pre-eminently ancient greek war helmet. It was widely spread beyond the geographical borders of ancient\u00a0 Greece<\/span><\/strong><strong><span lang=\"en-US\">. The art of its construction required great skill, as the helmets of kings, generals, were decorated with various representations, and had a rich horse mane.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\" lang=\"el-GR\"><strong><span lang=\"el-GR\">BODY ARMOUR<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"el-GR\"><strong>Equipment was not standardized, although there were doubtless trends in general designs over time, and between city-states. Hoplites had customized armour, the shield was decorated with family or clan emblems.\u00a0 Although in later years these were replaced by symbols or monograms of the city states. The equipment might be passed down in families, as it was expensive to manufacture.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"el-GR\"><strong>The <a href=\"https:\/\/greekart-souvenirs.gr\/en\/product\/greek-warrior\/\">hoplite army<\/a> consisted of heavy infantrymen. Their armour, also called panoply, was sometimes made of full bronze for those who could afford it, weighing nearly 32 kilograms (70\u00a0lb). Armor was more commonly made out of linen fabric glued together, called\u00a0linothorax. The average farmer-peasant hoplite who could not afford any armor typically wore no armour, carrying only a shield, a spear, and perhaps a helmet plus a secondary weapon. The\u00a0linothorax\u00a0was the most popular type armour worn by the hoplites, since it was cost-effective and provided decent protection.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"el-GR\"><strong>The richer upper-class hoplites typically had a bronze\u00a0cuirass\u00a0of either the bell or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Muscle_cuirass\">muscled<\/a>\u00a0variety, a bronze\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Helmet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">helmet<\/a>\u00a0with cheekplates, as well as\u00a0greaves\u00a0and other\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Armour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">armour<\/a>. The design of helmets used varied through time. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Corinthian_helmet\">Corinthian helmet<\/a>\u00a0was at first standardized and was a successful design. Later variants included the\u00a0Chalcidian helmet, a lightened version of the Corinthian helmet, and the simple\u00a0Pilos\u00a0helmet worn by the later hoplites. Often the helmet was decorated with one, sometimes more horsehair crests, and\/or bronze animal horns and ears. Helmets were often painted as well. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thracian_helmet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thracian helmet<\/a>\u00a0had a large visor to further increase protection.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"el-GR\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em><strong>HANDMADE GREEK BATTLE HELMETS<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6397,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[303,290,299],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-9990","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-agalmata-molntano-perikefalaies-en","7":"product_cat-agalmata-en","8":"product_cat-agalmata-molntano-en","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"taxable","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-variable"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.0 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Greek Battle Helmet - Greek Art Souvenirs Vamvoukakis<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Greek Battle Helmet.Handmade and painted with special aging patina tecniques.
