A panoply is a complete suit of armor. The word represents the Ancient Greek ('), where the word (') means "all", and ('') means "arms". Thus, panoply refers to the full armor of a hoplite or heavily armed soldier, i.e. the shield, breastplate, helmet, and greaves, together with the sword and spear.
