[hoplite14gr]

Some writers say that the Spartans sometimes armed the helots. Probaly daggers and javelines.

Most probaly equipment was suplied by the household of the hoplite.
Remember though behind palisade or wall a servant with an axe, hatchet or big kitchen knife is very dangerous. Even a big stone hurled downwards from the elevated level of fortifications can be effective.

Kind regards
