Hoi,
im new on this forum, and this is my first post
Im not a reenactor within the roman/greek period, but
busy with reenacting within the napoleonic age as a french
linesoldier 1812 and a french douanier also under napoleon.
But also im heavily interested in the greek hellenic army.
My second hobby are strategic games on the computer, my
favorite game is rome total war, wich is i think is a brilliant game,
alltough not very accurete in terms of history.
Thats why some fans of the game started to make a modification
for the game, thats puts in more realism, and tries to be as
realistic as possible, to show the nations and there armys in a
historicall correct way, the timeperiod is the hellenistic era
(from 330 - 30bc) and at the moment they are working on the
greek factions.
But for some units it is very difficult to find information on the internet.
There is a lot of talking about sparta and how there hoplites would look
in this timeframe, we know that most of the greek states would have
addopted iphikrates hoplite, and that the heavy armed hoplites more
and more dissepeared from the battlefield.
but what about the spartan army at this period?
I found this forum while surfing on the internet looking for information.
i think this is a great source of information, and i was hoping some of
you would have some information about the spartan army in the hellenistic
period?
