Firstly, most of the panoply of arms to qualify as a warrior remained bronze - the armour and helmet. The steel spearhead was just better than the bronze one. And none of it was cheap.

More important citizenship depended on the full panapoly of arms, which could be inherited, bought or taken from a fallen enemy. So the ordinary citizen got his status from one of these methods.

The ordinary citizen, who was an armoured warrion, was also a farmer, who was prepared to fight to protect his livelihood. So they were part of a community which banded together to defend their properties.

Thus the city-state depended on its citizens, and the citizens depended on the city-state to provide the power of the combined citizen-soldiers and the sanctuary of its walls. Government came to be exercised by these soldier-farmers as they held ultimate response power. The distribution of power became a negotiable compromise between the aristocracy and the farmers on whom they relid.
