Bronze Age Greece
Historical production support
Armour, helmets, dress and everyday objects give a Mycenaean setting its physical presence. Archaeopolis brings research and specialist making together for productions exploring Bronze Age Greece and adaptations of the Trojan story.
Objects, equipment & practice
The photographs show a representative selection of our work. Additional objects, equipment and costumes are available, alongside customised constructions tailored to your production, including 3D-printed props and scenic elements.

Research to physical production
Translate the chosen period, place and narrative into references for armour, clothing, domestic objects and social settings. For Homeric adaptations, establish how the film relates epic poetry to Bronze Age material evidence.
Review the documented Mycenaean editions and suitable equipment for the brief. Confirm existing-piece availability separately from new commissions, adaptations and performer fittings.
Coordinate armour with clothing, accessories and the performer’s movement. Develop individual looks and ensemble consistency around the script and visual direction.
Extend the work from a hero object to the objects and activities around it: a meal, a camp, a household or a ceremonial scene. Agree the research, selection, fabrication and supervision required.
Historical worldbuilding
We develop a coherent Mycenaean world through armour, costume, props and scenic details, combining collection pieces with customised constructions for your production.
Planning the work
Rental depends on the selected object, dates, condition, fit and intended use. Archive photographs show the collection’s work; they do not guarantee stock.
Agree the references, dimensions, materials, finish and schedule before fabrication. Specialist making is developed with the appropriate collaborators.
Research, fittings, packing, transport coordination and on-site support are scoped around the project. Share the location, dates and required action with the first brief.
Your production brief
Tell us the period, story, location, dates and the objects or people you need to prepare. Include visual references and an indicative budget where available.
