This armour is a fantastic reproduction,thank you for your hard work.I thoroughly recommend his books "The long war" series". I hope to go to Olympus with my family soon for a holiday.

Nah, this full body armor suit is not from the 5th century era that you mentioned. Its archaic, meaning 7th-6th century. There is only one surviving example to my knowledge, found in ancient olympia. Also, the corinthian helmet seen here is much later example, the archaic one was more like this stefanosskarmintzos.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/the-early-archaic-hoplite/

[@Hi_I_am_Ed]

This armor looks amazing.

[@jumpforcover]

Great gear - very impressive

[@lordaltair]

Of all the ancient world I think the Greek Hoplite was my favorite. And this just looks awesome :) Awesome job man! 5/5

[@Alex-R.-]

very beautiful video the world, she needs you more please thank you

[@ibronski]

I will come to try it, really! Love from Serbia

[@MOLONLABE480]

You are welcome.

[@daylightliving8929]

Great armour , great workmanship indid. Now finally we understand that they had full armour,, whole body frotection it make sense! I never believed they whent to war naked arms and legs.Great work indid!

[@MOLONLABE480]

thank you

[@theslidedaddy]

Congrats on the armor and the vid. I love the high crest, its a bit more archaic than classical but it does look cool and is not often seen in modern day reenactment. Another great detail is the designs on your chiton and the way it folds behind your neck. But my favorite has to be the writing on the inner side of the shield rim. What's the full inscription? I see some liberties you took with the armor but the overall effect is amazing. Great and inspiring work, video and soundtrack, keep it up

[@FellsApprentice]

You are some kind of badass. For Hellas and Victory.

[@MOLONLABE480]

Thanks😉

[@mijotech1726]

Very beautiful armor. Love the shield as well

parker simpson Thank you for our comment

[@Therainoffear]

well im proud to be greek

[@graphomet]

Great Vid Aderfe! How hard was it to walk with the armour?did you get use to it easily, or does it take days or weeks to feel comfortable in it?

[@argowal]

Congratulations it's a beautiful armor, never seen full plate hoplite with upper leg and upper armor, looks fantastic! It would be very cool if the video had more battle movements like spear thrusts and shield defenses.. And please don't shoot near a road and electrical cables it looked weird made me think hoplite vs truck xD Thanks for sharing this video

[@theCreativeAssemblymachinimas]

spartans...here we stay...HERE the truck dies! shield wall!

[@joyhughes7384]

Great video...I watched a documentary on the Greek Hoplite...said the sword was designed to cut at the knees in a sweeping motion..from your armour that appears the main weak spot

[@jeandot9714]

beautifuly made armor! did you made it or bought it!? Anywasys amazing costume and really nice video

[@inquestFLASH]

whats the interior of the helmet like? is there something to keep your head comfortable? is it possible to run with a helmet on? does it bounce as you walk? can you please tell me a few things. Excellent video by the way.

[@Molotovnic]

very amazing!!!

Imagine being there for 3 days fighting in the heat till your dory was splintered in half and dying a glorious warriors death!

[@hopliteman]

Awesome Armor dude! You look like what Leonidas should look like. Screw half naked 300. A hoplite wears Armor!

[@ireneemerson5828]

I'm sure the Spartans wore armor. However in ancient Greece the Nake Male Form was openly obsessed over. It's true that the Greek Games and many Physical events were all done in the nude. Having the soldiers appear so naked in the movie 300 was just the one person's (Costume Design) interpretation.

[@LeohTheArcher]

Good job on the details btw

[@MOLONLABE480]

Hi Leonardo Marques. the painting on the armour is it historical or not i don,t can say it is 100% historical. but i see much paintings on anciant reliefs and the yare painted. so watch to the book of the greeks, in german. Bunte Götter. very interseting. thank,s for our comment

[@opethandoceans]

Some of those shots made me pee myself. Very well done

[@JimbobHarrigan1984]

I've got to build some spartan figures, thanks for the colour guide

[@peppe010393]

oh my god

[@ghostriders653]

Wonderful ! Of all the ancient Greek armour this armour is the most impressive, but ! can it be an authentic reproduction off and real known artefacts ?

[@canadianjake1995]

where does one find of Armour, im Canadian so it's impossible to find up here

[@MOLONLABE480]

Inquest Flash @ hi so you have to put something inside between our head and the helmet something like wool or so. You can run with the helmet. But i changed the creast it is to long and to heavy . So you have problems too with the wind. In an few days i will upload an new video. Greestings

[@LeohTheArcher]

Never seen that shoulder piece of armor in the paintings. Is it historical or did you just decided to add it? Looks like a lot of unnecessary weight in a dense formation fight. Same for the upper leg armor.

[@MOLONLABE480]

Leonardo Marques you don,t will se much of this because there is no one out there. you can see some pics in the museum in Ancient Olympia in grecce ..serach on google for Shoulder armour medusa archaic. maybe you will find something.

[@Usammityduzntafraidofanythin]

Did you need the feathery plume on the helmet, though? Most troops didn't wear it, except like the captains and generals.

[@Alakabram]

CNot entirely true..

Graphomet. It was very hard in the Armour to walk up the hills and very hot. Never again ( maybe ;-) )

[@DRako-nr4rj]

you men go to sparta, walk through streets in that armour watching ruins of ancient sparta, then climb on taygetos!

If only I had the money and time. -_-

[@alienc]

MOLONLABE480 NICE are you a black smith or armorer by any chance? how much did this in total cost?

[@MOLONLABE480]

i.m not an blacksmith but I think I have some skills to make an armour.....I don.t know how much mony 8 spend on it but other reenactors says for an simple hoplite armour you have to spend 5000 euros. so I think 8 - 9000 euros.it was 2 months of work every day 8 hours.

[@alienc]

wow nice, that is really cool and awesome. thanks for the reply, it does look like it took a lot of hard work and money and it shows, on e of the best pieces of hoplite hellas armour i have seen... i hope to one day maybe make my own piece of armour in the far future or at least maybe buy it and/or wear it :)

[@OpaSann0]

How old were the ruins you were standing in?

[@MOLONLABE480]

Good question...I don.think they are really old. They are modern buildings from 14th I think in the time greece fight against the turks. Osmanes.but i.m not sure

[@OpaSann0]

Modern building that is 600 years old XD? Haha might be considered modern compared to most ruins in Greece. Good job on the armor. May I ask is this a reproduction of what was used back in those days or a 'fantasy' armor based on old designs?

[@MOLONLABE480]

Modern buildings are for me. After 15th. Sorry I life in the ancient times. The armour. Yes this is an real armour. From 650. B.c.heavy armoured hoplite. Watch my other videos.

[@OpaSann0]

I just watched them. I think everybody will recognize the shield and helmet but the design of the chestplate, and especially the armor which covers the upper arm I've never seen before. Nice job. Do you do lots of reanacment?

[@MOLONLABE480]

Thanks for our comment. No I do just the greek reencment .and the original upper arm guards you will ffind in the Museum of Ancient Olympia.

[@theCreativeAssemblymachinimas]

How did you kill a man totally covered in armor with ancient weapons? spear cannot Pierce bronze armor and sword too.

[@MOLONLABE480]

The weak points are the eyes the neck and the open body parts between the Armour. Not every thing is complete with bronze. The Knights from the Camelot are much better covered

[@theCreativeAssemblymachinimas]

So why did not they cover those weak parts? They would have made invincible hoplites. For the eyes, you can put a grill in front of eyes so he can see whithouth being stabbed.

[@MOLONLABE480]

He he with the time..humanity learns. :-)

[@MOLONLABE480]

I don.t think so.

[@MOLONLABE480]

Never heard or read of Asians or Africans with bell Armour...Where do get this information do you have some book links or something else

[@CaballeroDeOtono]

That armour is historical?

[@MOLONLABE480]

Yes it is. This is an Archaic Hoplite From Laconia Sparta. Timeline 650.b.c watch my other videos if you want. Only the helmet is wrong in this Video. Because i had the archaic one with me. Thes helmet is Corinthian classic timeline .

[@MOLONLABE480]

Yen thats true👍

[@theCreativeAssemblymachinimas]

we are all "warriors" somehow...we do not fight with spears and swords, but with our brains and constant endeavours (menthal or phisical, depending on your job), and the battlefield is our life. Integrity, Discipline, honor, strenght, respect...these are all ancient values which can and should be still applied.
