Mercenary Garamantian Lancers
From their Saharan strongholds, these lancers strike out at would-be threats.The Garamantians were a Saharan people who created an empire based on the slave trade and used a sophisticated network of irrigation tunnels for their water supplies. This vital water supported cattle and wheat farming, enabling the Garamantians to dominate much of Saharan and sub-Saharan Africa. At times, this expansion threatened Carthage and Ptolemaic Egypt, who also prized their fierce warriors as mercenaries. A reliance on slaves and freemen of low birth, much like the Spartans, enabled the Garamantians to develop a skilled military elite famed for their horsemanship and four-horse chariots. Unfortunately, as the water ran out, so did the fortunes of the Garamantians. Unable to support their towns and territories, their military power dwindled - they could no longer get the slaves they needed to secure more water.
