No, I know what Numbers guy was referring to, but I'll be damned if I can remember the exact name right now. There were some Greeks that fought in the nude because they felt it was more honourable, just like with athletics.
In particular there was a phalanx unit comprised entirely of gay lovers sworn to fight to the death and to the last man. They fought in the nude and they all died in one battle.
I SAW IT ON THE LEARNING CHANNEL.
