Ancient Greek Spartan armor

Among the most powerful city states in ancient Greece, Athens ranked first and Sparta ranked second. The so-called city-state is a country that centers around a city and is surrounded by towns and villages. Sparta is located on the plain of Lagonia in the southern part of the Greek peninsula. Around the 11th century BC, a group of Greek tribes called Dorians invaded Lagonia and destroyed the original city states. They settled here, which became the Spartan city of Dorians - but it had neither walls nor decent streets. Spartans refer to the white people who came here - Dorians.
