I noticed the hoplites' shield is called aspis in the musters, but shouldn't this be hoplon? I mean, the reason they are called hoplites in the first place is because they use hoplons.
Apologies to all ancient greeks for butchering the plural forms of hoplon.

Re: Hoplon vs. aspis
Having read more into it, some seem to say that they never even called them hoplon as this is modern greek not ancient!
