Iceni (Imperator Augustus) Ancient Capital Level 4

Syracuse (Occupied)

Strategic Hellenistic capital.

Even in the ancient world, cities grew up in places where people had already been living for a long time because the sites were defensible, controlled river crossings, had natural resources nearby or were safe from floods and other natural disasters. Cities, despite their rulers’ best intentions, were rarely planned. There might be sections where public buildings stood by broad, open streets and temples were laid out in magnificent splendour, and patrician dwellings hid rich opulence behind bland frontages. But equally likely, if you walked a few paces in the wrong direction, you would be guaranteed to find a maze of twisty backstreets, cheek-by-jowl houses, and run-down slums, alehouses, whorehouses and slaughterhouses, all jostling for what little space there was within the walls. The city was the world in miniature, with all the wonder and squalor that implied. Romans and Greeks equally could take civic pride in their urbanity and sophistication, and at the same moment be a little disgusted by the dirt and tawdriness of the back streets only yards away.

1	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (AOR_10_Crossbows) Gastraphetes (Crossbow Infantry) This unit is the forerunner of medieval arbalesters. The gastraphetes crossbow, however, is more a handheld siege weapon than a battlefield weapon. The army of Syracuse was one of the first to use this weapon, with one unit of psiloi under the tyrant Dionisyus I. Later, this weapon would find its way into the Macedonian army of Alexander, used during several sieges by specially trained soldiers to kill city defenders.

2	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (AOR_10_Dart_Slingers) Kestrosphendones (Dart Slingers) The kestros is a dart thrown by a specially made sling, or propelled by a staff on a sling. It takes a long time to reload, but allows for more deadly and accurate shots than any other weapon of the time if correctly used, thanks to the shape of the darts, which can fly straight and precise trajectories. This weapon is mentioned in a Polybian account about new weapons in the army of Perseus, shortly before the last open confrontation between the Macedonians and the Roman Republic (169-168 BCE).""""

3	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (AOR_10_Greek_Colonist_Levies) Sikeliotai Pantodapoi (Syracusan Colonist Levies) The heritage of the citizen-soldier runs deep in all Greeks, no matter what their home.

4	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (AOR_10_Greek_Marines) Sikeliotai Pezoi (Syracusan Marines) Soldiers trained for the perilous service aboard the galleys of the navy, but also as an offensive force on land.

5	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (AOR_10_Italian_Levies) Sikelioi Milites (Sicilian Levies) Angry Sicilians with spears should never be dismissed lightly.

6	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (AOR_10_Italian_Slingers) Sikelioi Sphendonetai (Sicilian Slingers) Even in the hands of levies, slings are dangerous weapons.

7	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (AOR_10_Sicily_Bruttian_Infantry) Pezoi Brettioi (Bruttian Infantry) The Bruttii come from the southern extremity of Italy. These Bruttian troops are dependable medium infantry. They carry two pila, which they throw before engaging in close combat with their swords. They are well armoured with a variety of bronze pectorales, typical of the Oscan warrior class. Their helmets show Greek and Italian influence, known as Italo-Attic. They fought for Pyrrhus during his invasion of Italy.

8	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (AOR_10_Sicily_Lucanian_Light_Infantry) Aichmetai Leukanoi (Lucanian Light Infantry) The Aichmetai Leukanoi are equipped with javelins, a knife and a small shield. Their speed is their best and only armour. They allied themselves with Pyrrhus of Epirus when he invaded, but were defeated and subjugated by the Romans after the Pyrrhic War.

9	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Bri_Imannae) Imannae (Britannic Skirmishers) The Imannae (Im-an-ay) are youths used throughout many less developed Celtic territories to ambush and disorient enemies. In an army, they generally act as a screen for the main force, disrupting the enemy formations with their javelins before the older warriors charge. They are actually more akin to a militia arm, and are employed by tribes in dire need of defense. They are best employed as hit-and-run soldiers for if they become embroiled in a melee they will surely break and flee.

10	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Bri_Lugoae) Lugoae (Levy Troops) During periods of strife and war, it is sometimes necessary to call upon ordinary citizens to organize as a militia. Militia in Celtic societies - known as the Lugoae - are farmers, craftsmen and fishermen, who are called to brief military service in periods of crisis. They may train a few times a year to fight and participate in games and sports to improve their physicality, but they're still only militia, and can only be trusted to do so much.
10	300	300	353	353								22	9	15	54	1	20	45
11	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Bri_Uassedoi) Uassedoi (Britannic Slingers) Comprised of the sons of higher-class men, the Uassedoi are not warriors ready for the front-line of battle. Still, they are unencumbered by heavy shields and can move in quickly with their spears against other light troops, or take up flanking positions with their slings. Many of these youths will someday take the places of their fathers and uncles, and this is where they begin their training.
