    Neither, a ninja is actually hiding in the Spartan’s shadow waiting to kill them both but then all three get killed by a pirate who swung down on a rope with a sword in one hand and a knife in his teeth

    Who would win in a fight? A half-naked militiaman with a bronze sword or a soldier in full armor with a steel katana?

    Don’t get me wrong, Greek hoplites were great in formation for their time period, but the individual spartan was basically just a decently fit dude

      soldier in full armor with a steel katana?

      If they also have their yumi (longbow) & any amount of distance, that hoplite or spartan is a dead man.
