Vieira,I took your words literally and I kept it up :lol:
Here are some Spartans victorious in the battlefield...

They don't look that Spartan to me.

Ahh,now you open a looong discussion...What should they have to look like Spartans?Beards?Most of them have,but not nessecarilly all of them had.Long hair?The same.Armour?The same as other Greeks.Transverse crest?Not only Spartans used it,but Spartans are indeed a classical example.And now the "hot" spot.RED CLOAKS.I betrayed my belief that they wore them in battle and depicted them without cloaks.Some members(most) will tell you that they actually did not wear cloaks in battle.Although I disagree,I found it more pleasant to draw the whole panoply visible than cover everything with a red cloak...for this I agree I should be criticised.
Have you got anything else to suggest i should ave done to name them Spartans?
Oh,I forgot...the one shield whos emblem is visible is indeed Spartan,as it was shown in one of those plated dedicated in I think Artemis in Sparta and depicted different shield emblems.The dead hoplite's emblems are not Spartan and if you asked Stefanos,I think he should tell you that they are probably Athenian.So what about some Spartans victorious in the battlefield of Mantineia? :wink:
