Drangiana Level 3

Nobles' Palaces

Elite infantry had a prominent role in the ancient world, often as noble companions and royal guards. Alexander’s successors had the agema and hypaspists, such as the Silver Shields who served until they were almost too old to fight. The Seleucid Empire founded its own Silver Shields, but these were an elite unit of phalangites. Over time, these elite units became professional and some, such as the nobles and mercenaries protecting the Parthian King of Kings, became royal guards living within the palace. Royal guards were not, however, always bound by tradition: the Seleucid ruler, Antiochus IV, retrained some 5,000 Silver Shields to fight in the 'Roman fashion' as legionaries.
