What is the historical significance of the real Spartan shield in ancient warfare?

The real Spartan shield, known as the hoplon, was a crucial part of ancient Spartan warfare. It was large and round, providing protection for the soldier's body and forming a shield wall when soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder. This shield formation, called the phalanx, was a key tactic in ancient battles, allowing Spartan warriors to advance as a unified force and overwhelm their enemies. The hoplon symbolized the discipline and unity of the Spartan army, contributing to their reputation as formidable warriors in ancient Greece.
