A hoplite was the most common type of heavily armed foot soldier in ancient Greece from the 7th to 4th centuries BCE, & most ordinary citizens of Greek city-states with sufficient means were expected to equip & make themselves available for the role when necessary. Hoplites were instrumental in Greek warfare & the victories of Greek armies over Persia at the battle of Marathon (490 BCE) & the battle of Plataea (479 BCE) during the Greco-Persian Wars. All our bronze items are cast in Greece, using the traditional 'lost wax' method. As nothing is mass-produced, there will inevitably be slight variations in patination & coloring. Each piece is, therefore, unique.
