Maccabeans were probably equipped in hellenistic way.
Pity, the were fun!
Yes, you guys are correct in the sense that the historical (as well as archaeological) evidence for this is very, very scant. Direct pictorial evidence for this (as well as the later Herod's Revolt) is non-existent.
All do seem to be in general agreement that desert themed Hellenistic equipment would be quite appropriate, especially since most Hellenistic armies loved their versatile peltasts anyway.
