An unbelievable scene took place in the center of Sparta when a man dressed as a Spartan warrior decided to take on the role of… traffic cop in a particularly original way.

On the afternoon of Wednesday, August 21, around 6:30 PM, the man, clad in armor and holding a shield and spear, climbed into a “barrel” and began directing traffic in the streets of the Laconian capital, according to flynews.gr.

The sight attracted the attention of both passersby and drivers, who watched with curiosity and surprise. The impromptu traffic cop seemed to be enjoying his role, entertaining onlookers with his movements.

The incident quickly became a topic of discussion on social media, with many sharing photos and videos. However, it is still unknown who he was and why he did it.
