As part of our I.D.L topic on Ancient Greece, we have been engaging in personal research and finding out the facts of the Trojan War. There were many heroes and clever tactics employed by both sides, the most famous being the ‘Trojan horse’. We were fascinated by the weaponry used at this time; materials and how armour and weapons were strategically used to maximum effect during battle. This inspired us to design and make our own swords and shields using our knowledge of the popular designs favoured by the great soldiers of the time.
