Spartan Shields were made to protect the man from just above the shoulders down to the knee. So a large man would have a larger shield in this case.
that shields is hold in left hand ....
Spartan warrior shields were typically made of wood, covered with a layer of bronze. The shields were round and large, measuring about 3 feet in diameter. The construction involved shaping the wood into a circular form and then attaching the bronze covering. The shields were designed to be lightweight yet durable, providing protection for the warrior in battle.
The Spartan's were primaraly Hoplites, that means they used to shields called Hoploms and large spears, The shields were important because they helped form the formation as each soldier used his shield to cover the man next to him called a phalanx, And pointed there spears down and marched forward to create a barrier of shield and spear. also because a lone spartan warrior could swing the shield so strong that it could simulate a car crash and kill another warrior
The Λ (or chevron) on Spartan shields is the first letter in the Greek word "Λακεδαίμων" (translated in English as "Lacadaemonia"), which is the region in the southern tip of Greece where Sparta is (or was) located.
Quite big. Since Athens was on the coast. A lot bigger than Spartan's army, since the Spartan army was land-based.
The upside-down V symbol on Spartan shields is known as the lambda, which is the 11th letter of the Greek alphabet. It represents the sound "L" in the Greek language. The lambda was used as a symbol of the city-state of Sparta and its military prowess. It is often associated with the legendary Battle of Thermopylae, where King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans made a heroic stand against the Persian army.

the spartan shield didn't have an A on it. it had a lambda. lambda is the greek letter L, which stood for Laconia, the part of greece where they are from.

a true spartan is a master chief! and somone wih big feet to kick people down that big hole.
Text Before: Spartan mothers told their sons to die in battle because they believed that death was better than defeat. Landon90 Says: Infact one saying that the spartan mothers told their son, went something like this "Come back with your shield, or on it" they said that because the Spartan's shields were so big that when they die in war, they get carried on their own shield.
They had a big shield to protect their whole body!

On their shields they had the Greek letter lamda (L), an inverted V. The Spartan territory was Lacedaemon, and the L signified that.
