Sparta

The ancient Greek city state of Sparta is renowned for its military prowess. As a militaristic society, Spartan males were trained to be warriors from a young age, and this was the only career they would know. In battle, a Spartan warrior was equipped with an arsenal of weapons that enabled him to effectively handle any situation that he encountered on the battlefield. The combination of these weapons and the Spartan’s lifelong martial training made him one of the deadliest warriors in the ancient world.
The Spartans’ shield was a powerful symbol of their strength and resilience. Warriors would pass down their shields to their sons, so it would remain in the family for generations. Spartan mothers would pass the shield to their son before war with the words “Return with it or carried on it”, in other words, victorious or dead.

The primary weapon of any Spartan warrior was his spear, which was known as a dory. This weapon is believed to have been 2.1 – 2.7 meters (7 to 9 feet) in length and the shaft was made either of cornel or ash wood. Both woods were chosen for their strength, and while the former is extremely dense, the latter is known for its lightness. A piece of leather would be wrapped around the part where the spear was held, so as to afford the warrior a better grip.
At one end of the dory was the spearhead, which was leaf-shaped and made of iron. At the other end of the spear was a bronze butt spike known as a sauroter (meaning ‘lizard killer’). The spike acted as a counter-balance to the spearhead and allowed the spear to be planted upright in the ground when not in use. Additionally, the spike could be used as a secondary weapon if the spearhead was broken or lost or used to stab enemies lying on the ground as the Spartans marched across the battlefield.
