Hi Comerus, Yes you are quite right the Athenians at some stage would have represented Spartan warriors. I just cant remember seeing a hoplite wearing a linothorax with a Spartan shield design?
I must admit though the Spartans were no dummies (conservative yes but no dummies) they would have used the linothorax if it was advantages to do so, as im sure it would have been.
