Spartan Warriors Knew How to Prepare for Battle
Spartan warriors, known as hoplites, were well-versed in equipping themselves for warfare. Before heading into combat, they wore a breastplate, ankle guards, and a formidable bronze helmet.
Additionally, they wielded a round shield constructed from bronze and wood, a lengthy spear, and a sword. Spartan soldiers were often recognizable by their long hair and distinctive red cloaks, as famously depicted in the movie ‘300.’
