Sagittarii

To fire a bow continuously, until the battle is done, takes great skill.

'Sagittarii' were archers, drawn from Roman subject peoples to augment the Legions. As the centuries wore on, following several sets of reforms, almost all were folded into the Roman army proper and, as Rome came to rely more on barbarian foederati, they became part of its tribal military wing also. In the West, archers were used in much smaller numbers than other skirmisher classes. Possibly this is due to the composite bows with which they fought; the glue used tended to dissolve in wet western climes and the wood would warp, rendering the weapons entirely useless. It was a much more common sight for units of sagittarii to be attached to Eastern armies as cavalry, where they followed their region's ancient traditions of skirmishing from horseback.
