How to portray a Spartan king from the classical era?

[Phalanx300]

Thanks for the reply Stefanos.

I'm more aiming for 500BC to 300BC, something like that, basicly from Thermopylae to the Spartan golden age.

And those are some nice pictures, I believe that they are from the SpartasMoras reenactment group?

My second favorite, or well, my favorite now. I e-mailed Hoplitikon and I got a response that it was disbanded .

Also, about the crest symbols on the Corinthian, was the black-white cubes the most common version at the time? I was thinking of doing triangles probably(red-white, or red-black), don't know if thats Historical though(and I want it to be just that).

Also, one last question. The Spartan bodyguards, I knew they were Olympic winners, and that they fought next to the king and that it was a big unit. But would all the bodyguards be wearing the Bodyguard symbol? Or just the 2 fighting right next to the king?
