[Giannis K. Hoplite]

I post only photos of hoplites,meaning men with big shield and spear. These,together with some sculptures that show hoplites sqweezing their caps and carrying spear and shield,and combined with the account that in the Poikile stoa the Plataeans wore boeotian caps, makes it all possible that some hoplites entered battle in soft piloi. I remind that not one boeotian cap has been found in bronze, before the late 4th century bc. And their early form was considerably different than the later bronze ones.
You may rule out the possibility that some hoplites didn't wear body armour,but given the frequency of its depiction,i can't be sure that all ranks of hoplites had fully equiped men. And if some didn't wear body armour,why not also a felt cap instead of a bronze one?
