How long does it take a hoplite to get ready for action? Watch one incompetent one time himself as he dons his panoply. • Support me on Patreon: / lindybeige • More weapons and armour videos here: • Weapons and armour • Some game systems have rules on how long it takes to put on armour. Here I give you some practical hints as to how long it actually takes. Yes, the sword and shield are just mock-ups, but the time it takes to take them up is probably about the same as the real thing. • Was this really shot in ancient Greece? No, it was a park in Gosforth, near a primary school and with aircraft flying overhead and a breeze just strong enough to create constant rustling of leaves and occasional wind noise on the microphones. • Buy the music - the music played at the end of my videos is now available here: https://lindybeige.bandcamp.com/track... • Lindybeige: a channel of archaeology, ancient and medieval warfare, rants, swing dance, travelogues, evolution, and whatever else occurs to me to make. • ▼ Follow me... • Twitter: / lindybeige I may have some drivel to contribute to the Twittersphere, plus you get notice of uploads. • Facebook: / lindybeige (it's a 'page' and now seems to be working). • Google+: google.com/+lindybeige • website: www.LloydianAspects.co.uk • / user Lindybeige
