Dear Spatha190<br>
Akademics claim that hoplites start using the first letter of their city state name during and after the Peloponesian war.<br>
Also one can consider the possibility of artistic licence or even the remote possibility of a mistake if the source is not "original". For Macedonians it could also stand for Alexander although I consider this far fetched!<br>
Kind regards<br>
