That is a fascinating image, are the Spartans in the image on the left or right? Hoplites on both sides appear to have long hair, the hoplite on the right is wearing thigh guards and carries a Boiotian shield, so I assume the Spartans are on the left (or on the right, fighting alongside Boiotian allies?). I also see what appears to be a chin strap? on the helmet at the upper right.
