Lakhmids Melee Cavalry

Lakhmid Scouts

The Lakhmids were clients to the Sassanid Kings. Originating in Yemen, on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, they settled and ruled from Al-Hira, in what eventually became central Iraq. Al-Hira was said to be a paradise on earth, but more importantly was a Sassanid asset outside of Arabia. As Sassanid clients, they rendered military service to their overlords, as well as taking a political role - even helping the Emperor Bahram V seize the throne in AD420. The Lakhmids also fought against the Eastern Romans throughout the 4th century alongside the Sassanids, who offered religious tolerance and freedom from Roman Orthodox Christianity.
