Toby V. Spartan hoplites were of a much higher social status than those from other Greek cities. This is because Sparta’s citizenry was largely upper class with a huge slave population while the other Greek states drew hoplites from the middle class.

@tobyv.7653

QualityPen other city states drew hoplites from their middle and upper classes alike, being part of a militia was seen as citizen privilege for those who could afford the armour. Hesiod writes a lot about the mix of classes in the archaic period. Saying that Spartan armies were of a much higher status than other Polis armies is a bit dismissive. While Spartiates (the true spartan citizens who were bred to be warriors) were the bulk of the force they did also mix in a phalanx with Periokoi, and eventually used Helots for skirmishes. To compare the social status of Sparta with other cities it's a bit of a challenge given that all male citizens were ruled in all aspects of their life from birth, destined to be a warrior.

To give some perspective one pound of purple-dyed silk cost you 150,000 Denarii. Gien that 12,000 Denarii would get you one pound of silk, thats 138,000 Denarii for the dye. Thats roughly £345,000.00 today. Although, that figure is probably highly inaccurate as it's hard to find a accurate measure of how much a Denarii was worth.

@@aurilius8145 Its the declination of "bellum", the latin word for war. It roughly translates to Nominative "the war", Genitive "the war's", Dative "the war", Akkusative "the war", Ablative "the war" ('Ablative is hard to translate, given that there is no equivalent in english) . The second line is the declinition in plural. Note that i have only declinated bellum in the e-declinition (neutrum), because bellum is in latin grammatikally neutral as a word. Lindy declinated it here in all three Genus (or Geni?, dont know the plural), which does not really make sense in a grammatikally way. Basically the pun is that the romans are not declaring war, they are just listing the different case-forms of war, which, in Latin (and Greek) is called declinig.

LindyBeiege, when I was taking a Firefighter I-II class, we trained in donning and doffing our gear. My instructor had us go from basic school clothing (jeans, t-shirt, underwear, socks and shoes) to full turnout gear (Boots, pants, gloves, coat, hood and helmet.) We were given one minute to don all this gear. Then, in addition to this, we were given an extra 20 seconds to don our mask and SCBA. When I first tried to don my gear, I got 1m 52s.... without mask and SCBA. With practice however, I was able to don everything at somewhere around 1m 4-5s. I think I did better once however I will give the best score to a fellow class who donned in everything with inhuman speed at 47-49s. Now this was albeit done with our gear laid out in front of us. Though after a time, we adapted to putting our gear in specific places, therefore making it easier to don it. I put it to you that many soldiers who must be prepared quickly for battle did this in a similar way and could don there armor much quicker. All that aside, good luck finding your mates and putting the good fight to the Romans.

Too much sun might cause melanoma, but too little sun is bad for you as well. You need your dose of Vitamin D.

Does sunlight protects against spears? No! Who even NEEDS sunlight? Vitamin D is overrated.

You don't need the sun for vitamin D, you can get plenty of vitamin D from your diet.

Thank you Lindy, i needed this!

I loved the ancient Hoplite war music you played during it.

Worst Robin Goodfellow costume I've ever seen. Seriously Lloyd, we expected better from you.

For the love of god! Get some sun on those legs!

hoplites bought their own kit and not all would be wealthy enough for a breastplate.

You would have made a nice slave for the Romans.

The whole putting on armour cause youre late for battle is quite cute :3

i love your shield very very detailed
