Hoplites were citizen-soldiers of the Greek city-states across the Hellenic world.
Usually armed with a spear and a shield, the hoplites were not professional soldiers but free citizens of the poleis. They were considered the backbone of armies like Athens'. Unlike in Athens, in Sparta, 'non-citizens' like the perioikoi and helots could gain the rank of a hoplite.[1]
