Late Hoplites appearence

[PMBardunias]

The feeling "I would/could not do it, because it is impractical or impossible from my experience or thoughts, so they did not do it" is often a good correction for interpretations or sometimes the only way to solve problems, but in this case I think Johnnys/Pauls different interpretation is probable and convincing.

Thanks There are "heroically nude" images of Boetians that clearly show the little ankle sandals we put them in, but none that I know of for spartans in this period. If someone has such an image of spartans please share it.
