A Greek hoplite was a heavy infantryman. He wore a bronze armour and a bronze helmet. He used a round shield called hoplon. The shield was round so that soldiers in the same line could interlock with each other, making them better able to hold their line.
The hoplite phalanx was a revolutionary tactical system when it was introduced The phalanx was a deep formation with up to eight lines. The armour offered the soldiers better protection, but reduced agility and speed. To make the system effective soldiers had to be able to hold their formation tight when attacked. If they did this, an attacking phalanx would be so compact that it became like a crash force.
