The Spartan shield used in battle is called the "hoplon."
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.

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
I suppose to clean and repair it. There is a story that before battle, Spartan mothers told their sons to either come back victorious or come back carried on their shield.{Spartan mothers would give their sons the shield with the words "Return with it or carried on it!" }

Spartan IIs are the only soldiers in the UNSC to have the shield ability. Im not sure if the Spartan IIIs do in the book Ghost of Onyx.
