Default Re: [LT Armor Loadouts] Expensive Greaves

I suspect that bronze plate, in particular, is overpriced- part of the reason that plate is priced so high is that, compared to other iron/steel armor at TL4, it requires the absolute best quality steel and a master craftsman, whereas (if my understanding is correct), bronze plate was not all that much more demanding compared to bronze armor assembled from smaller pieces.

EDIT: When one compares GURPS sets for a hoplite's equipment to the material wealth it says a man of hoplite status should have, there is a clear mismatch, but where the error lies is a matter to be worked out by people with more knowledge than I have.
