Hi all & Paul!
The illustration ,you know from osprey The Greek and the Persian Wars 500-323 BC... The bad news there is no specification on color or where he comefrom,etc...., just talk about Hoplites in general wich joined forces to combat the Persian invasion in 490-480 BC... PS I think that is the clue

Ummm Yea... THAT Osprey edition is one of their first and although having some neat photos, the illustrations are, in my opinion, not nearly as well researched or executed as in their latter publications. BIg Time.
