Spartan Mora regiments at Battle of Plataea
#2
Quote:Any idea what mora Amompharetos commanded at Plataea? I'm trying to get a handle on what mora shield blazon he and his men would have worn that day, standing alone on the fields of Plataea after refusing to retreat.

I reckon it might have been a clenched fist with a single upright middle finger (directed at the Persians)!!! :lol: But seriously, there are some posters on this forum who have a deep interest in such unit insignia and sooner or later one will pipe up. Stefanos for one is apparently researching this area in some depth. He could probably give you some clues.
