Bosphoran Infantry
These powerful Black Sea warriors wield both spatha and javelin with great skill.The Bosporan Kingdom was a client of the Roman Empire. It outlasted all others, only briefly becoming a province under the Emperor Nero. Located in Crimea, on the shores of the Cimmerian Bosporus, its prosperous territory was originally a Greek colony. A large amount of archaeological evidence has since been uncovered there, including gold work, imported goods and textile fragments. The remains of the city of Panticapaeum, which was built on Mount Mithridat, still stand today, despite being hit by an earthquake in 70BC and sacked by the Huns in AD370. This is largely due to a revival during the Roman period that saw these great cities protected and incorporated into new fortresses.
