Spartan Hoplites are OK - the Spartans retained hoplite equipment until they changed to pike a la Macedonian pike phalanx in 225BC - other Grek states had mostly abandoned the Hoplite for Thureophoroi and then gone to pike, although some never really adoped the pike - staying with Thureophoroi. <p></p><i></i>
