The structure evolved over time. By the Peloponnesian War the basic Spartan unit was the enmotia of 36 men in three sections. Two of these made up a pentekostys, and two of them made a lochos. Four of these made a mora (battalion) = 576. Battalions were grouped according to the task. The Spartans were not known for their seige engines - they were field fighters. In fact in their mid-5th Century BCE seige of Messenia, they had to call in the Athenians to help them. However they are recorded as using catapaults, scaling ladders and battering rams in the seige of Plataia in 429 BCE early in the Peloponnesian war.
