Mycenaean Warrior

Mycenaean warrior in classical bronze armor and a helmet made of boar's tusks found in the Dendra.

The armor consisted of 15 pieces and weighed 18 kg. Despite expectations, bronze plates were relatively thin.

Boar tusks were sewn onto the leather and it is estimated that 40-50 boars were killed to create one helmet.

The primary weapon of the Mycenaeans was a spear that measured 3 meters (scaled down for the image).

Other popular weapons were axes and clubs. Rarely bronze swords.

Mycenaeans wore shields of various shapes made of bronze or wood and ox hide.

Chariots with two horses and two man were used for fighting and later as a means of transport.

I found a reference to the fact that the Mycenaean army used riders on horseback, but like many other things from the Bronze Age, the information is fragmentary for us...
