Carthage Level 3

Armourer

The armourer is remembered every time a blow is turned aside.

The shield was the most important piece of armour to a Greek infantryman. The hoplon not only gave the hoplites their name but also led to the creation of the phalanx, a supremely effective fighting formation. The concave, circular hoplon was made of bronze and wood with leather strapping for the hoplite's arm. It was of similar size to many previous designs but its unique grip allowed troops to stand close and cover the next man, thus forming a solid, unyielding wall: the phalanx. The hoplon was used throughout the Hellenistic world. It was a terrible dishonour to lose a shield in battle as it was the hoplite’s talisman and symbol of being part of the greater army of his city-state.
