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.

Sikeliotai Pantodapoi
(Syracusan Colonist Levies)

The heritage of the citizen-soldier runs deep in all Greeks, no matter what their home.

300 Retukenoi
Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Ibe_Arevakos_Medium_Spear)
Retukenoi
(Celtiberian Spearmen)

They may be potters, cobblers, and farmers when not called to arms, but this should not give one reason to dismiss their potential as warriors. The Retukenoi may not have the blue blood of their comrades, nor the swords and high-crested helmets, but they will still hold the line when asked, they will still pepper the enemy with javelins, and they will still run down and trample all those who seek to put a yoke on their people.

175 Iberi Funditores
Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Ibe_Arevakos_Slingers)
Iberi Funditores
(Celtiberian Slingers)

Armed only with their sling and a knife, these slingers are largely unprotected aside from their small wicker buckler. That makes them extremely vulnerable to any troops that can catch them in melee, and even light cavalry is likely to just run through them without breaking a sweat.

300 Iberi Milites
Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Ibe_Arevakos_Spear)
Iberi Milites
(Celtberian Light Spearmen)

These men are warriors that are levied when there is dire need for it. Recruited from all professions of Iberian society, they form a surprisingly reliable and versatile militia. As with many warriors in Iberia, they use the usual combination of javelin and spear to fight.

300 Iberi Caetrati
Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Ibe_Arevakos_Sword)
Iberi Caetrati
(Celtiberian Light Infantry)

Caetrati are a deceptive type of infantry. Able light troops, they can skirmish while softening their enemy before closing in for hand-to-hand combat. Four things contribute to this capability: their agility on the battlefield, their all-metal heavy javelins ("soliferrum"), the traditional Iberian ferocity, and their superb swordsmanship.
