Iron spearhead components for the doru, the primary spear of Greek hoplite infantry immortalised in Homer’s Iliad, where two distinct styles of spear technique are described.
-
Known to the Romans as lorica squamata, scale armour built from overlapping metal plates was used across the ancient Mediterranean world by Greek soldiers well before Rome adopted the same construction. This steel version finishes the lower border in a decorative flower pattern, a detail consistent with the fact that scale armour, while functional, was also frequently ornamented on surviving examples. Each scale measures approximately 36mm by 26mm, following the same construction principle as our standard iron and brass versions.

Iron Scale Armour Hauberk (Lorica Squamata)
SKU: AH6162Known to the Romans as lorica squamata, scale armour built from overlapping metal plates was used across the ancient Mediterranean world, including by Greek soldiers well before Rome adopted the same construction. This version is worked entirely in iron scales, each measuring approximately 36mm by 26mm, for a heavier, more workmanlike finish than the brass alternatives. Surviving Roman tombstones from Verona depicting a centurion and a standard-bearer both show soldiers wearing scale armour of this type, confirming its long service life across the ancient world.

Greek Scale Armour Hauberk (Lorica Squamata)
SKU: AH3857Known to the Romans as lorica squamata, scale armour built from small overlapping metal plates was used across the ancient Mediterranean world, including by Greek soldiers well before Rome adopted the same construction. This hauberk-style piece steel scales onto a canvas backing, forming a flexible sheet of overlapping protection across the torso. Surviving Roman tombstones, including those of centurions and standard-bearers found at Verona, depict soldiers wearing scale armour of this type, confirming its long service life across the ancient world.

Greek Kopis – Horn Handle
SKU: AH2153HA lighter, swifter take on the classic Greek Kopis, this bone-handled version offers a more responsive blade than the typical thick-spined examples — the forward-curving profile retained, but with a thinner blade geometry that trades some chopping mass for speed and agility in the hand. Designed in association with historian, Mathew Amt
-
Greek Kopis – Wood Handle
SKU: AH2153WThe wood-handled version of Deepeeka’s responsive Greek Kopis pairs the same swift, thin-bladed profile with a carved wooden grip — a classic material choice that reflects the organic hilt construction common to genuine ancient Greek originals, offering excellent purchase and a traditional aesthetic for collectors and re-enactors alike. Designed in association with historian, Mathew Amt
-
Based on finds from the Campovalano necropolis in Italy — an important site reflecting ancient Greek influence on the Italic peoples — this Xiphos reflects the evolution of classical Greek swords beyond mainland Greece, into the warrior cultures of the Samnites, Etruscans and Umbrians who fought Rome before their eventual assimilation into the Republic.
-
Helmet of Themistocles
SKU: AH6385Themistocles was the Athenian statesman and general whose vision and political acumen are widely credited with securing the decisive Greek naval victory over the Persian fleet at the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC. Themistocles had earlier persuaded Athens to invest newly discovered silver revenues into building a large war fleet rather than distributing the wealth directly to citizens, a decision that proved decisive against Xerxes' invasion. This helmet reflects the Corinthian-style equipment worn by Greek commanders and hoplites of this pivotal period in the Greco-Persian Wars.

Iron Naue II Late Aegean Sword – Wood Handle
SKU: AH2161The Naue II is among the longest-lived sword types in human history — first appearing around 1450 BC in northern Italy and remaining in use for over 700 years across a vast swathe of the Mediterranean and European world. Named after the German archaeologist Julius Naue who first classified the type, it bridged the Bronze and Iron Ages, with later examples like this one crafted in iron as metallurgy advanced.
-
Late Aegean Naue II Sword – Bronze Handle
SKU: AH2162This bronze-handled Naue II evokes the elegant leaf-shaped profile of the ancient Aegean Bronze Age — a sword type that spread from northern Italy across the entire Mediterranean world from around 1450 BC onward, remaining in continuous use for over 700 years. The integrated bronze guard and disc pommel reflect the organic-hilt construction techniques documented in surviving archaeological examples.
-
The Kopis was the cutting sword of the ancient Greek world — a forward-curving single-edged blade that shifted its weight toward the tip, enabling powerful chopping and slashing strokes that complemented the thrusting spear of the hoplite phalanx. This version is based on a particularly beautiful original dated to around 320 BC, now in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.
-
Athenian Cavalry Slashing Sword (Kopis)- Falcata
SKU: AH4237WThe wood-handled companion to Deepeeka’s Athenian cavalry Kopis — the same EN45 high carbon steel forward-curving blade with the same swift, responsive character, paired with carved wooden grip halves steel-riveted directly to the thick blade tang for a solid, functional hilt in the organic material tradition of ancient Greek sword construction.
-
Xiphos Dagger – Greek Hoplite Sidearm
SKU: AH4238The Xiphos Dagger is the compact companion to the full-length Xiphos — a shorter blade in the same leaf-shaped tradition, serving as the hoplite’s closest-range backup weapon or as a standalone sidearm for those who could not afford or did not carry the longer sword.
-
Component parts for assembling a doru, the primary spear of Greek hoplite infantry, comprising a steel spearhead and a brass butt-spike (sauroter).
-
The Athenian cavalry Kopis — the forward-curving single-edged slashing sword favoured by Greek horsemen after the 5th century BC, as recommended by Xenophon himself in his treatise On Horsemanship. This horn-handled version reflects the organic materials used in the finest surviving Greek Kopis examples, its solidly riveted horn hilt providing a secure grip for the powerful downward cuts that made the Kopis the preferred mounted sword of the Classical world.
-
A classically proportioned Greek Xiphos featuring a leaf blade forged from high carbon steel with notable distal taper — swift and agile in the hand, the well-carved contoured wood grip fitting naturally into the palm. Based on surviving historical designs, this version captures the essential Xiphos character in its most functional form.
-
Brass Scale Armour, Large Fit (Lorica Squamata)
SKU: AH6164BThe lorica squamata was a type of scale armour used by the Roman military from the Republic onward, built from small overlapping metal scales wired or sewn to a fabric backing. This brass version is built to a generous scale, fitting chests up to 50 inches and standing 26 inches in length, for wearers needing a larger fit than our standard sizing. At roughly 12.5 kg, the weight reflects the density of real overlapping metal scale construction rather than a lightened costume alternative.
-
Greek Musculata, Combat Pattern
SKU: LA003Muscle cuirasses were often highly ornamented with mythological scenes, but archaeological finds of relatively unadorned examples, alongside artistic depictions of military scenes, show that simpler versions were also worn in genuine combat. This leather musculata reflects that plainer, combat-oriented end of the tradition, its anatomical form present without elaborate figural decoration. A lightweight leather build offers real wearability for extended re-enactment use.
-
Greek Greaves, Brass (Pair)
SKU: AH6140Greaves were a standard part of the hoplite panoply, protecting the lower leg from ankle to knee where the shield could not reach. Greek and Macedonian soldiers and kings alike wore greaves in combat, shaped and sprung to fit the leg closely without needing straps to hold them in place. This brass pair recreates that close-fitting hoplite silhouette, providing a matched set of shin defences styled after classical Greek military equipment.
-
Greek Doru Spear
SKU: AH3529The doru — the primary spear of Greek hoplite infantry, a two-to-three-metre spear with a leaf-shaped head at one end and a shorter secondary spike, the sauroter, at the other.
-
Royal Corinthian Helmet
SKU: AH6058RThe classical Corinthian helmet, hammered from a single sheet of bronze, is the most iconic image of the Greek hoplite, its enclosed form offering superior protection at the cost of restricted vision and hearing. This 'Royal' pattern reflects the more richly finished examples associated with wealthier warriors and commanders, who could afford the finest craftsmanship the type allowed. Named for the city-state of Corinth, the helmet remained the most popular Greek helmet form through the Archaic and early Classical periods before more open designs gained favour.
-
Trojan War Shield
SKU: AH6119This sturdy shield is inspired by the Trojan War, waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans (Greeks) after Paris of Troy took Helen from her husband Menelaus, king of Sparta. The Trojan War, as recounted in Homer’s Iliad, sits at the very foundation of Greek literary and cultural identity, and the shields of its heroes — Achilles’ shield above all — are among the most famous in Western literature. This reproduction offers a shield evocative of that legendary conflict for a Homeric or general Greek heroic impression.
-
The linothorax, literally “linen chest armour,” was constructed from multiple layers of linen hardened with glue or resin, giving Greek and Macedonian soldiers a defence that was lighter and more comfortable than solid bronze. It is most famously associated with Alexander the Great, who according to Plutarch wore a “double-layered linen breastplate,” reportedly taken as spoils after the Battle of Issus, into the decisive Battle of Gaugamela in 331 BC. This reproduction combines linen with a carbon steel element and an etched decorative plate at the waist, echoing the ornamented linothorax shown on the famous Alexander Mosaic from Pompeii.
-
Corinthian Helmet Plume
SKU: AH6103A natural horsehair plume in the Corinthian style, mounted on a decorative frame designed to fit onto a Greek-pattern helmet. Crests and plumes carried real significance in Greek hoplite warfare, adding visual height and presence that could help a commander stand out or a unit maintain cohesion at a glance. This plume is designed to pair with Deepeeka's range of Corinthian and Italo-Corinthian helmets.
-
Italo-Corinthian Helmet, Miniature
SKU: AH6058I.MThe Italo-Corinthian helmet developed a distinctive silhouette after Italian warriors took to wearing the classical Corinthian helmet pushed up on the forehead, even in the thick of battle, for a clearer view and better hearing. This eventually transformed the once face-covering visor into a purely decorative feature, while the helmet itself came to be worn more like a cap than a fully enclosing helm. This miniature format suits a shelf display or gift setting where a full-size reproduction wouldn't be practical.
-
Greaves, Classical Pattern II, Pair
SKU: A018Greaves rank among the oldest dedicated pieces of leg armour in Western military history, referenced repeatedly in classical literature including Hesiod’s Shield of Heracles, Homer’s Iliad, and Virgil’s Aeneid. This second classical-pattern pair offers an alternative cut to our other classical greaves, for wearers or collectors seeking a distinct piece. It protects the shin and calf below the knee in the same classical form referenced throughout ancient literature.
-
Greaves, Classical Pattern, Pair
SKU: A016Greaves rank among the oldest dedicated pieces of leg armour in Western military history, referenced repeatedly in classical literature including Hesiod’s Shield of Heracles, Homer’s Iliad, and Virgil’s Aeneid. In the Iliad, Greek forces are described by a standing epithet referring to their well-made greaves, a detail that reflects just how central this piece of kit was to the image of the Homeric warrior. This reproduction recreates that classical leg armour form as a matched pair, protecting the shin and calf below the knee.
-
Spartan Short Sword
SKU: AH4213/W068Inspired by the distinctive short Xiphos associated with Spartan warriors and made famous by the film ‘300’, this piece captures the characteristically short Laconian blade that Spartan soldiers favoured — the blade they famously said was ‘long enough to reach the heart of an enemy.’ A blunt-edged carbon steel blade with leather-wrapped handle.
-
Italo-Corinthian Helmet, Antique Finish
SKU: AH6058AThe Italo-Corinthian helmet developed a distinctive silhouette after Italian warriors took to wearing the classical Corinthian helmet pushed up on the forehead, even in the thick of battle, for a clearer view and better hearing. This eventually transformed the once face-covering visor into a purely decorative feature, while the helmet itself came to be worn more like a cap than a fully enclosing helm. This antique-finished version gives the form a weathered, archaeological display presentation.
-
Italo-Corinthian Helmet, Iron
SKU: AH6058I/H005The Italo-Corinthian helmet developed a distinctive silhouette after Italian warriors took to wearing the classical Corinthian helmet pushed up on the forehead, even in the thick of battle, for a clearer view and better hearing. This eventually transformed the once face-covering visor into a purely decorative feature, while the helmet itself came to be worn more like a cap than a fully enclosing helm. This iron construction reflects the material used for many genuine surviving examples of the type.
-
Italo-Corinthian Helmet, Brass
SKU: AH6058BThe Italo-Corinthian helmet developed a distinctive silhouette after Italian warriors took to wearing the classical Corinthian helmet pushed up on the forehead, even in the thick of battle, for a clearer view and better hearing. This eventually transformed the once face-covering visor into a purely decorative feature, while the helmet itself came to be worn more like a cap than a fully enclosing helm. This brass construction reflects one of several metal choices available for the type, alongside iron and bronze.
-
Laconia Shield, Decorated Hoplon Pattern
SKU: AH6139/TH007This decorated variation of the traditional hoplon shield takes its name from Laconia, the region of Greece also known as Lacedaemonia, homeland of ancient Sparta. Laconia’s hoplite tradition, most famously embodied by Spartan warriors, placed enormous cultural weight on the shield as a symbol of duty and discipline. This reproduction recreates that decorated hoplite shield tradition.
-
Bronze spearhead components for the doru, the primary spear of Greek hoplite infantry immortalised in Homer’s Iliad, where two distinct styles of spear technique are described.
-
Folding Greaves, Hoplite Pattern
SKU: AH6122The greave takes its name, through Old French grève, from a word for the shin, and was one of the earliest and most enduring pieces of dedicated leg armour in the ancient world. Greek hoplites wore bronze greaves shaped to the contour of the calf and shin, relying on the natural spring of the metal to grip the leg without straps or buckles. This steel interpretation follows that same hoplite silhouette in a folding, adjustable design, standing 22 inches including the knee cap.
-
Trojan War-Era Helmet
SKU: AH6120/H024PThis helmet draws on the Trojan War tradition, the legendary conflict waged against the city of Troy after Paris's abduction of Helen, immortalised in Homer's Iliad. Whatever its precise historical basis, the Trojan War became the foundational epic of Greek culture, its heroes and battles referenced throughout later Greek art, literature, and identity for centuries. This piece reflects the Bronze Age martial imagery associated with that legendary conflict, distinct from the later Classical-period hoplite equipment of Corinthian and Boeotian helmets.
-
Three-Disc Cardiophylax Armour with Brass Belt
SKU: AH6088BThis three-disc armour, or cardiophylax, dates back to 450-30 BC, originally worn by Etruscan and Samnite warriors of Central Italy before later being adopted by the Samnite class of Roman gladiators.
The three overlapping discs offered targeted protection to the chest without the weight of a full cuirass, and the accompanying ornamented brass belt was itself considered a mark of a warrior’s status in Central Italy during this period.
This reproduction recreates that historic three-disc armour with its brass belt, suited to an Etruscan, Samnite, or gladiatorial impression.
-
Spartan Helmet
SKU: AH6078/H042This helmet reflects the equipment of the Spartan army, whose citizens — trained from childhood in the famously demanding agoge system — formed the core of one of the ancient world's most feared military forces. Spartan hoplites typically carried a version of the Corinthian helmet, its enclosed bronze form offering strong protection within the tightly packed ranks of the phalanx formation Sparta's army was built around. This unplumed pattern reflects the essential Spartan helmet form without additional crest decoration.
-
Spartan Helmet, with Plume
SKU: AH6078P/H042PThis helmet reflects the equipment of the Spartan army, whose citizens — trained from childhood in the famously demanding agoge system — formed the core of one of the ancient world's most feared military forces. Spartan hoplites typically carried a version of the Corinthian helmet, its enclosed bronze form offering strong protection within the tightly packed ranks of the phalanx formation Sparta's army was built around. A horsehair plume, often dyed a distinctive red associated with Spartan military dress, added both visual presence and a further mark of status to the wearer.
-
Italo-Corinthian Helmet, Brass, with Plume
SKU: AH6058BPThe Italo-Corinthian helmet developed a distinctive silhouette after Italian warriors took to wearing the classical Corinthian helmet pushed up on the forehead, even in the thick of battle, for a clearer view and better hearing. This eventually transformed the once face-covering visor into a purely decorative feature, while the helmet itself came to be worn more like a cap than a fully enclosing helm. A horsehair plume, as fitted here, added both visual presence and a further mark of status to the wearer.

Greek Xiphos – Alfedena Type with Bone Hilt
SKU: AH4214NA companion piece to the Campovalano Xiphos, based on finds from the nearby Alfedena necropolis — another Iron Age cemetery in the Samnite territory of central Italy where Greek cultural influence produced a distinctive local sword tradition. The bone hilt and pierced iron facing reflect the same construction tradition as the Campovalano examples, confirming the regional character of this specific Iron Age sword type.
-
Greek Xiphos – Bone Hilt Hoplite Sword
SKU: AH4231A hoplite-style Greek Xiphos with a full bone hilt and wooden scabbard — twenty-nine inches overall in the tradition of the 6th–5th century BC Campovalano type, its full tang construction sandwiched in bone providing the traditional organic hilt material documented in the finest surviving Greek sword originals.

Early Minoan and Mycenaean Greeks, living between roughly 3000 and 1200 BC, mostly went barefoot but had a range of sandals, shoes and boots for outdoor wear, a tradition later Greeks carried forward through the Classical period.
Footwear styles varied considerably and were often named after their place of origin or the notable figures who made them fashionable, with Greeks identifying with their footwear closely enough that some people took on nicknames from their favoured shoe style. This version offers an alternate strap pattern to our other Greek sandal.
This reproduction recreates that classic ancient Greek sandal, available in sizes 8 through 11, made from genuine leather.

Ancient Greek Leather Sandals
SKU: AH3873Early Minoan and Mycenaean Greeks, living between roughly 3000 and 1200 BC, mostly went barefoot but had a range of sandals, shoes and boots for outdoor wear, a tradition later Greeks carried forward through the Classical period.
All classes of Greeks removed their shoes indoors — archaeologists have confirmed this from wear patterns, since the outside steps of temples and palaces show far more erosion than the indoor steps. Footwear was made mostly of leather, tanned from cattle hide or the softer, cured hides of calves, sheep and goats for finer sandals, sometimes dyed black, red or yellow, or gilded for the wealthy.
This reproduction recreates that classic ancient Greek sandal, available in sizes 8 through 11, made from genuine leather.

Greek Hoplite Shield, 23-Inch, Embossed Boss
SKU: AH3721This metal shield with leather covering and an embossed boss measures 23 inches in diameter. The historical Greek hoplite shield, properly called the aspis (often popularly called the hoplon), was a deeply dished wooden shield distinguished by its unique two-point Argive grip. Rather than a simple central handle, the Argive grip placed an armband, or porpax, at the centre for the forearm, with a separate handle, the antilabe, near the rim for the hand — a genuinely distinctive design among ancient shields.
