Spartan re-enactors in America - Arthes - 11-06-2005 Greetings, for those who don't already know, there are now three 'Poliae' of the ASCA Spartan Warband in the USA - California, Montana and Idaho and they are looking for more members .... [url:2tcukxh4]http://www.spartanwarband.com/index.php[/url] They make apologies for their initial dodgy leg and foot wear in some photos hock: :roll: - maybe they need some members to upgrade the authenticity...... Some nice photos of other Hoplites in their gallery including long haired and bearded Australians.... ! The Greek Warriors are Hoplites based in New York [url:2tcukxh4]http://www.thegreekwarriors.com/pages/1/index.htm[/url] regards Arthes Re: Spartan re-enactors in America - hoplite14gr - 11-06-2005 Thanks Cristina. Spelndit link. I cannot understand though why every web page shows Greek S like E and Greek L like A. Apart from that they look fine. The shields of the hoplite miniatures in the page are depicting epilectoi of the Delean Alliance circa 478 B.C. for those interested in Ancient Heraldry. Kind regards Stefanos Re: Spartan re-enactors in America - Anonymous - 11-06-2005 Thanks, Nai, I think I'll just challenge them all. Re: Spartan re-enactors in America - Anonymous - 11-08-2005 Thanks for this thread, Arthes. I contacted both the groups you mentioned immediately. The New Yorkers haven't replied, so far, but THE SPARTANS ARE COMING! :o Re: Spartan re-enactors in America - hoplite14gr - 11-09-2005 See! What I was telling you that gods bless this event. Artemis Agrothera decided to to intervene. The name of the hunting goddess used to be the Spartan war-cry in the Archaic period!
