Historical Description and Application

A Spartan hoplite was a heavily armed infantry warrior of ancient Greece, particularly renowned for his participation in the Battle of Thermopylae during the Persian Wars (ca. 490–479 B.C.). The hoplites were an elite caste of citizen-warriors from the state of Sparta, distinguished by their discipline, bravery, and impressive weaponry: helmet, spear (dory), sword (xiphos), and a large round shield (aspis, hoplon). The figure depicts a classically armed soldier from this famous era, making it extremely attractive for enthusiasts of ancient history, military history, and figure modeling.
