Sparta Poster

The mantra of Spartan soldiers was “With the shield or upon the shield”.

See; http://library.thinkquest.org/17709/cities/sparta....

"The Spartan mother, when she gave her son his shield, would say: Bring back this shield yourself or be brought back upon it, referring to the manner in which the dead were carried on their shields from the battlefield."

This propaganda poster may look strange in our time but it was the one that inspired Spartans.
