Ancient Greek Hoplites and Their Origins
Ancient Greek Hoplites and their Origins By Jordan Wilde Senior Seminar (HST 499W) June 6, 2008 Primary Reader: Dr. Benedict Lowe Secondary Reader: Dr. Lorie Carlson Course Instructor: Dr. David Doellinger History Department Western Oregon University 1 The ancient Greek hoplites were heavily armed infantry soldiers, known for wearing extensive armor, carrying a large rounded shield, spears, and a sword. By looking at armor, weapons, tactics, and vases recovered from archaeological digs, along with literature of the time, such as Homer’s Iliad (ca. 700 B.C.)1 and Hesiod’s Shield of Heracles (ca. end of the late 8th century B.C)2, who and what a hoplite was can be defined. The scholarly consensus has been that eighth century B.C. is crucial in exploring the origins of hoplites. The eighth century sees a dramatic increase in population leading to the rise of city-states and hoplites. In this paper I am going to consider the evidence for the existence of hoplites during the eighth century B.C. and whether or not there is any evidence for their existence before this. When examining evidence for defining when hoplites first appeared, it’s important to understand what makes a hoplite unique, specifically his equipment, weapons, and tactics. In the article “Hoplites and Heresies,” A.J. Holladay looks at the overall view of the hoplite on the battlefield and some forms of military tactics the Greeks might have had. Holladay examines what is typically assumed as hoplite customs, fighting in a close pack, with their shields in their left hand protecting themselves and their neighbors as well as carrying a spear in their right hand.

“Won by the Spear” the Importance of the Dory to the Ancient Greek Warrior
ПРАКТИКА ОБУЧЕНИЯ ВОЕННОМУ ДЕЛУ В ДРЕВНЕЙ ГРЕЦИИ “WON BY THE SPEAR” THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DORY TO THE ANCIENT GREEK WARRIOR Steven Ross MURRAY The spear, or dory, was the major weapon of the ancient Greeks. The ancient Greek warrior, especially the hoplite, was known for his prowess in using the dory as a thrusting weapon in hand-to-hand combat and as part of the formidable Greek phalanx, but the dory, too, could be used as a missile weapon, when necessary. Other spe- cialized throwing-spears were commonplace among the ancient Greeks’ arsenal of weapons. The Greeks incorporated a throwing loop, called an ankyle, that was used to maximize the distance that a spear could be thrown, enhancing the ancient Greeks’ military domi- nance on the battlefield. The dory, and its athletic kin, the javelin, or akon or akonition, were fixtures in ancient Greece, and often Greek soldiers would carry two spears into battle for an edge over their ad- versaries. The following is a description of the dory, its construction and development, and how modern-day experiments indicate how impressive the ankyle was at helping the ancient Greeks to achieve victory that was “won by the spear”. Sophocles, in his fifth century BCE tragedy, Ajax, forever immor- talized the importance of the spear, or dory (δόρυ), to the ancient Greeks. The dory was the weapon of choice for the ancient Greek warrior, espe- cially the hoplite, who would typically be fitted with a helmet, greaves, and a shield for protection1, but used the spear as his main offensive weapon.

Phalanxes and Triremes: Warfare in Ancient Greece By Ancient History Encyclopedia, adapted by Newsela staff on 08.08.17 Word Count 1,730 Level 1230L A lithograph plate showing ancient Greek warriors in a variety of different uniforms. Photo from Wikimedia. In the ancient Greek world, warfare was seen as a necessary evil of the human condition. Whether it be small frontier skirmishes between neighboring city-states, lengthy city-sieges, civil wars or large-scale battles between multi-alliance blocks on land and sea, the vast rewards of war were thought to outweigh the costs in material and lives. While there were lengthy periods of peace, the desire for new territory, war booty or revenge meant the Greeks were regularly engaged in warfare both at home and abroad. Toward professional warfare The Greeks did not always have professional soldiers. Warfare started out as the business of private individuals. Armed bands led by warrior leaders, city militias of part-time soldiers provided their own equipment and may have included all the citizens of the city-state. Eventually, the conduct of warfare started to move away from private individuals and into the realm of the state. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. In the early stages of Greek warfare in the Archaic period, training was haphazard. There were no uniforms or insignia and as soon as the conflict was over the soldiers would return to their farms. By the fifth century B.C, the military might of Sparta provided a model for all other states to follow.

It is a story not just of battles and betrayal, but also of the interactions between dissimilar peoples in a multiethnic army trying to coordinate, fight, and win, while commanded by a Punic officer corps which may or may not have been competent. Carthaginian mercenaries are one piece of a larger narrative about the struggle between Carthage and Rome for dominance in the Western Mediterranean, and their history illustrates the evolution of the mercenary system employed by the Carthaginian Empire to extend her power and ensure her survival.

Historical Evolution of Roman Infantry Arms And
HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF ROMAN INFANTRY ARMS AND ARMOR 753 BC - 476 AD An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment to the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Evan Bossio Robert Chase Justin Dyer Stephanie Huang Marmik Patel Nathan Siegel Date: March 2, 2018 Submitted to: Professor Diana A. Lados Professor Luca Capogna Abstract During its time, the Roman Empire gained a formidable reputation as a result of its discipline and organization. The Roman Empire has made a lasting impact on the world due to its culture, political structure, and military might. The purpose of this project was to examine how the materials and processes used to create the weapons and armour helped to contribute to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. This was done by analyzing how the Empire was able to successfully integrate new technologies and strategies from the regions the Empire conquered. The focus of this project is on the Empire's military, including the organization of the army, and the tactics and weapons used. To better understand the technology and innovations during this time the Roman long sword, spatha, was replicated and analyzed. 1 Acknowledgments The team would like to thank Professor Diana A. Lados and Professor Luca Capogna for this unique experience. The team would also like to thank Anthony Spangenberger for his guidance and time throughout the microstructure analysis. Lastly, this project could not have been done without Joshua Swalec, who offered his workshop, tools, and expertise throughout the manufacturing process 2 Table of Contents Abstract 1 Acknowledgments 2 Table of Contents 3 List of Figures 6 List of Tables 11 Authorship 12 1.

THE PAWN OF ROME: THE ROMAN INFANTRYMAN Nanyi Yang Humanities: Western Civilization March 19, 2018 1 As a Roman soldier standing in a battle line with friends and comrades, nothing would have been clear. Death, especially if the soldier was near the front of the line, could arrive in a split second by the tip of a javelin or arrow. Thousands of troops marching into positions would kick up dust, obscuring vision. The clamor of troops marching and armor and weapons rattling would be deafening. Yet it is by these very people that the Roman Empire rose to one of the largest and most successful empires in human history. Its widespread success, however, meant that the Romans did not always have the luxury of fighting on familiar terrain.

Cannae 216 BC Rome Vs Carthage Scale 1 : 235
Cannae 216 BC Rome vs Carthage Scale 1 : 235 Background: In 218 BC Hannibal crossed the Alps into Italy and smashed two Roman armies at Trebbia and then agin at Lake Trasime. The Romans convinced themselves that the lost battles were due to insufficient forces and raised a huge army of 80,000 to destroy Hannibal. However at Cannae, Hannibal used his Gallic and Spanish infantry to hold the centre, whilst his cavalry and Africans encircled the Roman flanks. Almost the entire Roman force was destroyed. This is a classic battle, still taught today at war collages and to a large part depended on the enemy being overconfident of victory. Winning the Game: In this classic battle, the Carthaginian player will have to do very well to match Hannibals success in the real life battle. The Roman player should aim to crush the enemy infantry before the enemey cavalry does too well on the flanks. The result of the game should be obvious to all, destroying the enemy is the goal. Deployment: The Romans deploy their entire army first and cannot deploy any troops within 30 of the table edges on their left and right. The Carthaginians deploy as normal.
