How to portray a Spartan king from the classical era?

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

I also cannot say that it is proven the transverse crest was a sign of oficers or kings just because they apear in one Attic vase of some particular vase. They apear in Ionic and Doric art,in temples worn by Athena or Gorgon. I would need to see an inscriprion on a Laconian sculpture that says "ΒΑSILEY" or something similar,which is very unlikely. Or better one mention in one writer,even of the 1st century bc/ad. But there's nothing like this. Only thing we know,and in fact the one it pointed us to the belief it happened the same with Spartans,that the roman centurions were having transverse crests.
But I repeat,if Peter like a transverse crest,it is perfectly accurate. Just,it doesn't necessarily imply a king.
