Tanukhids Melee Infantry

Hetaireia Guards

As the Eastern Roman Empire based its operations out of Constantinople it inevitably inherited more local, Hellenised motifs, echoing the great empire of Alexander and his Successors that came before it. One such echo was the forming of 'hetaireia', meaning 'company', a troop of bodyguards to the Eastern Roman Emperor that could apparently trace its heritage back to the Macedonian Companion Cavalry, or 'hetairoi'. Hetaireia existed alongside tagmata, a broader division of elite Imperial protectors established by Constantine the Great shortly before the Roman Empire split into its Eastern and Western divisions.
