Description

These world-famous Spartan Hoplites are armed with a big round aspis shield, measuring on average 90 cm in diameter, a two-meter-long iron headed spear and the characteristic Spartan sword, which was more reminiscent of a dagger with its very short and straight blade and could thus only be used in melee (by the 4th century, some Spartans also used the more widespread xiphos sword, that was longer than the Spartan model). A pilos helmet made of high-quality bronze covers their heads, while their body is protected by a linothorax with attached pteryges and bronze greaves shield their lower legs from enemy hits. Few Spartans could still afford the classical bronze body armour by the 3rd century, so that it was usually reserved for the bodyguards of the kings. Despite their shrinking number, these men are still some of the finest warriors of the ancient world: war is their way and victory is their reward!
