The first Spartan chess set has been crafted by Calvin Daniels! Note that the Persians are on Square blocks, their images displayed upon a Persian figure-8 shield. The Spartans on round blocks, their images displayed upon their round shield the hoplon.

If you have a Facebook account you may view images highlighting the process involved here:
