Historical Description

Hoplites formed the backbone of the infantry in ancient Greece, achieving their greatest triumphs during the Persian wars, especially in battles such as Marathon (490 B.C.), Plataea (479 B.C.), and during the Peloponnesian conflicts. Athenian hoplites were equipped with a long spear (doru), a heavy round shield (aspis/hoplon), a breastplate, greaves, and a distinctive Corinthian or Attic helmet. The MiniArt model presents a typical Athenian hoplite with meticulously reproduced weaponry and protective equipment, making it ideal for recreating famous clashes of the classical era in Hellas.
