Berber Spearmen
The spear is a solid, reliable weapon when attacking or defending.The Berbers were one of the most tenacious and stubborn ethnic groups encountered by the Umayyads during their conquests. The caliphate did not have the strength to successfully subjugate all corners of its holdings, so the westernmost Berbers remained relatively independent and able to pursue their own goals, including expansion into the Byzantine-controlled Theme of Sicily. The western Umayyad 'jund' - or military divisions - consisted in large part of Berbers, leading the charge into Al-Andalus under the command of Tariq ibn Ziyad. Generally speaking, Berber armies were considered to be of lower quality and were generally given cheaper armour and equipment than their Andalusian counterparts.
