Need some information about Mantinea 207 BCE

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

and had the ugly long beards

Off topic,I know,but the only "ugly" beards are those shown in the Osprey book "The Spartans".Greek art has always(almost) depicted impressive beards and the general notion was that the beard was a "jewel" 8)
And beards was possibly a habit in Sparta,like in other states,too,but as always uniformity even in this is inaccurate.Thus cleomenes could nicely have been beardless.
And sorry Wolfgang for saying things you already know :lol:
