Baltha Warriors
These men are ferocious, axe-wielding tribal lunatics.Himyar's territory stretched to the borders of such influential powers such as Rome, Sassanid Persia, and India, lending a certain diversity to the Himyarite army, even compared to similar confederate forces of the time. A relief, dating from the 3rd or 4th century AD, depicts a warrior with an identifiable Indian-style fenestrated axe (with apertures on the blade, giving it a distinctive 'winged' look). There is evidence from coins and wall paintings to this effect, the Himyarite warriors depicted wearing chainmail coifs and hauberks, which became commonplace during this period. Fenestrated axes were able to pierce armour such as this much more effectively than swords or javelins.
