Holosideros Barracks

Hastily-erected camps familiarise levied citizens or subjects with the ways of war.

After the age of heroes, when fighting had been about individual valour and battles a brawl rather than a planned encounter, armies were organised into disciplined units. With conflicts between the city-states on the rise, and threats from the outside world, the Greeks created the first hoplites around 700BC. These were free citizens, fighting as infantry who provided their own armour and weapons. There was no standard equipment and these soldiers carried shields and armour emblazoned with family symbols handed down over generations. However, the name 'hoplite' derived from the one piece of equipment they did have in common: the hoplon shield. This circular shield was held so as to protect not only the bearer but also the man to his left. As a single mass, hoplites moved in the famous phalanx formation, marching towards the enemy as one solid wall.

175 Mesthaganeephi
Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (col_archers)
Mesthaganeephi
(Colchian Hunters)

Drawn from the peasant classes of all societies, these archers are those people who survive using their hunting skills. Learning to use a bow well is something that takes a lifetime of constant practice, and putting food on the table provides good practice.

200 Rkinashgharthamephish  Jari
Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (col_guard)
Rkinashgharthamephish Jari
(Colchian Foot Guards)

These men are the elite, drawn from the best of those willing to serve in the prestigious royal guard. The short-sleeved iron scale corselet worn by these men provides a high degree of protection. They use a large old-fashioned, circular silver shield with an iron rim, similar to the Greek Aspis shield. Exceptionally well-drilled and trained, these men have the discipline and organisation to do whatever their lord might ask of them, and they are full of courage, unwilling to turn their back on the enemy.

Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (col_hoplites)
Khangaramephi
(Colchian Hoplites)

These spearmen fight as a battle-line unit, using the phalanx formation. Their clothes are those of the Persian kardaka, and their greek-style linen armour is reinforced with bronze scales. They also bear a short sword and a 75cm to 1-meter wide aspis shield, made with wood and reinforced with bronze. They also wear a crested Urartian cone helmet. In battle, they usually stay with the king.
