Questions (linothorax, sandals, Spartan moustache)
#2
Khaire Zenodoros,
The famous bust of Leonidas seems to show him without a moustache...
although that is going by the photos.
As you say, it may be that it was a custom to distinguish the Ephors when off the battlefield...when their kranoi crests would have shown their status.
Incidentially, I just noticed some artwork referred to a 'Spartan' who is long haired, but carrying an aspis with the emblem of Corinth...
regards
Arthes

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
