Sandals or no sandals

Cloak

sandals or probably no sandals

Weapons(spear,and possibly a sword)

Bronze armor(helmet,shield,and greaves, breastplate and backplate were usual and in addition some may wore armor for thighs,feet,arms and shoulders)

and all kinds of bandages and cushioning if needed since bronze can be tough on bare skin

Answer 3

Spartans typically used a Bronze cuirass, Greaves, and a "Corinthian" style helmet, which was thought to strike fear in their enemies. They also used a large shield called a Hoplon.

Hoplon was actually name of all arms and armor.Aspis is the name of shield.additional armor could be thigh armor,shoulder and forearm guards,foot guard and relatively small plate as groin guard.

Striking fear into enemies applies only to Persian army,since all Greeks at the time used Corinthian style helmets.

Answer 4

The Spartans were Greek, so therefore they wore Greek clothing.

Greek Clothing - Accesories

Greek clothing was very simple. Men and women wore linen in the summer and wool in the winter. The ancient Greeks could buy cloth and clothes in the agora, the marketplace, but that was expensive. Most families made their own clothes, which were simple tunics and warm cloaks, made of linen or wool, dyed a bright color, or bleached white. Clothes were made by the mother, her daughters, and female slaves. They were often decorated to represent the city-state in which they lived. The ancient Greeks were very proud of their home city-state.

Now and then, they might buy jewelry from a traveling peddler, hairpins, rings, and earrings, but only the rich could afford much jewelry. Both men and women in ancient Athens, and in most of the other city-states, used perfume, made by boiling flowers and herbs.

The first real hat, the broad-brimmed petasos, was invented by the ancient Greeks. It was worn only for traveling. A chin strap held it on, so when it was not needed, as protection from the weather, it could hang down ones back.
