Index Card 8
http://www.factsmonk.com/ancient_greek_weapons
Ancient greeks used a long spear as their main weapon. These varied in length from 6 to 8 feet. The spear shaft was made of ash, and since they were easily breakable, they had a bronze cap on one end which was used as a club. The typical greek soldier wore about 65lbs of armour with a breast plate, round shield, and greaves. The balista was the first crossbow and was used as a seige engine.
