Beschreibung

Aspis! A Simple Guide to Re-enacting Ancient Greek Warriors. The interest in military equipment of the Greek Classical era has led to a profusion of re-enactment groups, who demonstrate, every year, thoroughly researched reconstructions to the public. Re-enactors spend considerable time and money obtaining good quality reproductions which necessitates a quest for information, especially for those who are newcomers to this activity. This work offers simple guidelines on doing impressions and reconstructions of ancient Greek warriors. A training manual compiled from ancient texts and the author's experience in re-enacting aims to offer clear guidelines so that ancient Greek infantry drill can be replicated safely. It takes into account modern conditions and facilitates the execution of ancient infantry drill by modern people and it addresses the needs of the enthusiast re-constructor. The author puts his experience to assist the average person who is fond of Ancient Greek history and warfare.
