This is a very basic answer, but ancient Greek soldiers wore armor made from bronze and leather, with a helmet and greaves. For capturing cities they used battering rams, catapaults, towers, and other seige technology, some of which is used today (trenches for example, like the one they dug around Troy). By making their spears longer and having their soldiers stand in rank and file, they invented the phalanx. They also used cavalry and chariots, and later armored elephants. At sea, their warships were rowed by two or three hundred sailors, with a few marines for boarding. The mast and sail were taken down for combat, and an underwater prow was used for sinking enemy ships by ramming them.
