Today, the image of a Spartan hoplite helmet is used as a symbol of strength, fortitude, and human physical excellence.

今天，步兵头盔的形象被用作力量、坚韧和类身体卓越的象征。

Persia was a particularly large customer during its wars of expansion around the end of the sixth century, and frequently paid its hoplite recruits in the newfangled medium of silver coins.

波在 6 世纪末的扩战争期间是一个特别大的客户，并经常以新奇的银币作为支付步兵新兵的报酬。

Hoplites, the heavily armed infantrymen who formed the core of Greek armies of this period, were much in demand as soldiers of fortune, and many found employment in non-Greek armies—not infrequently fighting their fellow Greeks.

步兵是这一时期希腊军队核心的全副武的步兵，作为发财的士兵很受欢迎，许多在非希腊军队中找到了工作——经常与他们的希腊同胞作战。
