Armor Sparta

Armor Sparta
Armour, weaponry, and equipment of peloponnesian war?

i’m doing a history report on the weaponry, armour, and equipment of the peloponnesian war. For those who don’t know, the peloponnesian war was a war in acient greece between sparta and athens. so far i no they used spears and pikes, and faught in phalanx formation…plz plz help i really need a good grade on this. <(^_^)>

They used , spears , swords,, pikes, and chariots along with siege machines.
In the end the Spartans won primarily because Persian gold enabled them to build more ships when battles were lost, and to outbid Athens for mercenaries. But Sparta also recognized from the first that Athens would have to be beaten by sea, because she depended on seaborne supplies, whereas, apart from Alcibiades perhaps, the Athenians do not appear to have realized that Sparta could only be beaten by land. It took the Theban Epaminondas to show the way by his victory at Leuctra and subsequent invasion of the Spartan homeland.
