Example sentence(s):
  • The runners would run either a single or double diaulos (approximately 400 or 800 yards) in full or partial armour, carrying a shield and additionally equipped either with greaves or a helmet.
  • Arising out of the warring tradition, athletes competing in the hoplitodromos exhibited the skills of warriors in battle by running in full battle armor.
