Spartan panoply at Thermopylae
#1
Hi guys,
I'm in a serious debate about the panoply of the homoioi during the battle of Thermopylae.
I have the feeling a lot of people have this vision about the spartan warrior which they like to be true but in fact is not. (Corinthian helmet, muscle thorax,...)

Personally I believe the spartans used their shield as body armor and a open helmet for phalanx warfare. The upper part of the picture to be more truthfully but the main group believes the lower part to be true which I think is completely wrong.

Can anyone enlighten the topic please with eventual source information would be great. I know their are a lot of specialist here who know a lot more about the subject than me. A lot of thanks in advance!!
