Item Details

Description

Circa 400 BCA finely made, anatomically sculpted greave covering the knee, shin and calf; slightly everted rim at the ankle and thickened edge at the calf; beaten from sheet bronze.Greaves primarily were used as protective equipment from as early as in the time of Homer with archaeological finds from earlier and contemporary Achaean warrior graves (D Amato-Salimbeti, 2011, pp.36-38).
