Aeneas Tacticus 30: Controlling arms imports.Aeneas' work suggests that there were usually not many more sets of weapons and armour available than those owned by the members of the city's own hoplite (heavy infantry) force. Conspirators attempting to recruit poorer residents (those who did not have their own armour, and probably a majority of adult male residents) for a violent uprising, would have to supply arms to such supporters. Arms imports are therefore particularly dangerous.
