Hoplite
Hoplites were heavily armed Greek footman.
Hoplites had a spear that was about 8-15 feet long called a doru/dory
The xiphos was a short sword that was used as a secondary weapon when the doru/dory was broken or lost
Lastly, hoplites had a large concave shield called an aspis/hoplon. The inside was a thick wood and the outsides were made of bronze. Hoplites wore bronze breastplates along with greaves to protect the legs and a corinthian/chalcidian helmet. (P.S. they wore more types of armor but I don't want to list all of it)
