This is a pretty underused class, but starting to see a lot more people hopping about with their spear and shield.
So here is a little build, utilising some cool little weapons:

Equiptment:
The essentials:
Weapon: Red Tassle (97 spd 27 pierce) War spear (95 spd - 28 pierce) Weight max: 1.5
Awlpike is technically better but it looks less hopliteish.
Shield: Elite Cav shield / Heavy round shield. Its Speed (100) vs More armour here. If you prefer the speed elite cav, if you want more HP heavy round. (Weight max: 7.5 for heavy round) [The shield has to be round to look like a hoplite but feel free to try out the better knightly heater with its crazy speed and new armour rating).
Secondary weapon: Broad Short Sword (102 speed / 27 cut / 25 pierece / 85 length) this little beauty is for dispatching enemies when you find yourself in a situaton that the one attack your spear has wont cut it (1v1s for example, although waiting for them to try and attack and poking from out of range is a favourite, or blocking and then trying to back stab) (weight 1.0)
Armour: The idea here is to keep weight very low (or you can go opposite if you dont mind losing speed and dodging ability and go heavier (ie Sarranid guard armour)
my setup:
Nord nobleman armur (1)
Khegit cavalry helm (1.8 weight, nice red tassle on top to match the spear
)
Leather gloves (0)
Leather boots (0.8)
Total weight: 13.6
