Hoplites were heavily armed footfighters in the ancient Greek bourgeois and peasant armies, who, in contrast to the noble lone fighter of the Homeric period, fought in the closed phalanx, which became the decisive type of weapon especially in the Division and Athens around the 7th century BC.
Prerequisite for the use as Hoplit was the possession of full civil rights and the means to own equipment. The Hoplit wore a large shield, helmet and armour as well as splints. His main weapons were lance and sword.
