The "Retra of Lykoyrgos" had been abandoned by Hellenistic times
Kleomenes tried to re-indroduced it.

The bulk of his troops would be renfranchised citizens pikemen since it is easy to train them and equip them. Officers and frontrankes would have armor and would probably appear as in "Retra" red clothes and beards.

His mercenaries would be thyreophoroi or even Cretan archers.

Kind regards
