I once again got some more questions (does it ever get old? :twisted: ).
Before the time of the mora(so Thermopylae to), would Spartans wear individual emblems? (like the saying of the Spartans with the lifesize fly)
And on the Hippeis, they were the 300 elite Spartiates, I read that they also were the Royal bodyguard of the king on campaign. However I also read somewhere else that the bodyguards and the hippeis are two seperate things.
Or was the Hippeis a bodyguard unit that was mostly just deplayed at the right of the line with the king behind the line giving orders?
