Frequently asked
What weapons did Ancient Greek warriors carry into battle?

How heavy was an Ancient Greek warrior's shield?
A hoplite's bronze-covered shield, called a hoplon or aspis, weighed about 15-17 pounds and measured roughly 3 feet across. Despite its weight, warriors could maneuver it skillfully to protect themselves and their fellow soldiers.
