Mycenaean Armour
Hello,
I'm currently taking a Greeks and Romans class at my college, and I have some questions about Mycenaen armour.
My professor and I were curious if anyone has made any reproductions of the armour?
I'd really like to learn more about it.
Thanks,
Zach

I might be wrong but Dan Howard might have some armour that is similar to that. I am not expert, and barely a novice when it comes to armor, but it looks very similar. I have seen the armour in question posted in this forum, but I am not sure where.
Looked around a little, and realized that it is the armour that he is wearing in his forum picture.

Thank you very much!
So it's called the "Dendra Panoply", I tried a search on "Mycenaean" but it didn't turn up much results.

Khairete!
I've got a few pieces, too, though it looks like my site is down at the moment, hmm:

We are all envious of Dan's cuirass! (But he's envious of some of our stuff, too, so it all evens out, ha!)
