Quote:Well this vase shows a Spartan attaking a Persian according to one source, it include his mustaki/mustache...he is wearing a later Pilos helm which I thought would date it to after Thermopylae..?
According to the other source, the Bull's head on the shield may be intended to mark him as a veteran of Marathon, wich Spartans didnt fought :? .
PS: I think the Lakedemonians appears more often on vases.

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
