Classic Hoplite Sword

The Hoplite was the backbone of the ancient Greek army, a citizen-soldier who fought with courage and discipline to defend his homeland. Known for their iconic spears and shields, Hoplites also carried swords as secondary weapons, ready to be drawn when spears broke in the heat of battle. This Classic Hoplite Sword captures that history, offering a faithful reproduction of one of the most recognizable swords of the ancient world.

A Blade of the Ancient World

The distinctive leaf-shaped blade was popular across Greece and beyond, valued for its cutting and thrusting ability. This design appears in countless depictions from Greek art and has been confirmed by excavated examples, proving its prominence in ancient warfare. Carried by soldiers who fought not only each other but also foreign invaders such as the Persians, the Hoplite sword represents the spirit of a culture that valued honor, resilience, and strength on the battlefield.
