🍢What the primary weapon of the Greek Hoplite was🍢

What I find facinating is how the hoplites developed in the first place. The discipline needed to maintain ranks in such formation must have beeb brutal. They had to train constantly and their officer corps true professionals.

That first helmet may be the coolest helm I’ve ever seen

Maybe its obvious but the butt spike could be stuck into ground to carry the weight of calvary charges

Surprisingly, the primary weapon of the Hoplite wasn't the spear or the sword. It was his shield!A hoplite can fight in Phalanx formation even when his spear or sword is broken. However, he cannot fight in Phalanx formation when his shield is broken. It is advised to collecting data from the ancient authors' writings rather than relying on modern theorists who make assumptions based on games like Rome total was..

Nice one....
I have one founded, not far away from my place, a couple km from Phillip the second palace, in a small valley, propably from a training area of hoplites there. It was in great condition. The time we use to do treasure hunting around our are which is very high characterized from archaeology, because is the berth place of Alexanders the Great and the tombs, one of his father Phillipe's the second....

Greek shields are cool. Its Shame ac odyssey can' let players use shields there

[curtygriff]

Did they ever poke the guys behind them with back end of the spear?

Interesting seeing you do a short that isn't Roman related.

So modern perception is that a sheild isn't a weapon. So with that in mind then yes, the Dori was the main weapon. However the soldier isn't a doriite is it? No they are named after the hoplon sheild because that was the primary weapon.

You ever heard of Hoplians? Or is it spelled Hopleans … spartan slaves, from what I heard.
