Hoplite military equipment

A unique reenactment of a Greek hoplite (rather a general or commander) by the Spanish historical association and reenactment group Athena Promakhos (copyright: Athenea Promakhos /Denis F.). Kudos to them for their fine work on the topic of ancient Hellenic warfare.

Saxon shieldwall

 

Several years ago, I found this impressive image on the Internet under the title “Saxon shields” and I have no reason to doubt it, although there are a few features that were not so usual among the Saxon warriors.

Macedonian Royal Hypaspist

An impressive reenactment of a Macedonian Royal Hypaspist by the German Historical association Hetairoi (Εταίροι). Felicitations to them for their work.

The hypaspistae (υπασπισταί) were an elite Macedonian infantry unit of multiple military uses.

T’ang dynasty Era lamellar armour and helmet

 

A recreation of a T’ang dynasty Era (or a generic Tang-type) lamellar cuirass and helmet. Creators unknown: felicitations to them for their superb work.

Spartan generals and commanders

This is an exquisite reenactment of Spartan generals and commanders (polemarchoi) by the Historical association Ancient Hoplitikon. Kudos to the reenactors.
