| Archivo:Ancient Greece hoplite with his hoplon and dory.jpg Re-creation of a 4th–3rd century BC hoplite, shown carrying an aspis shield (or hoplon). |
A hoplite was a citizen-soldier of the Ancient Greek city-states. Hoplites were primarily armed as spearmen and fought in a phalanx formation. The word "hoplite" (Greek: hoplitēs; pl. hoplitai) derives from "hoplon" (, plural hopla ), the type of the shield used by the soldiers, although, as a word, "hopla" could also denote weapons held or even full armament. In later texts, the term hoplite is used to denote any armoured infantry, regardless of armament or ethnicity.
