Massalia (Occupied)
Gateway to Gaul.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.

Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (AOR_11_Celtic_Levies) Lugoae Vocontae (Celtic Levies) During periods of strife and war, it is sometimes necessary to call upon ordinary citizens to organize as militia. Called Lugoae, militia in Celtic societies are farmers, craftsmen, fishermen, and so on, called to brief military service in periods of crisis. They may train a few times a year to fight, and games and sports encourage a decent level of physicality, but they're still only militia, and can only be trusted to do so much. |

Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (AOR_11_Celtic_Light_Cavalry) Vocontae Epos (Vocontii Cavalry) Vocontae Epos constitute the bulk of Vocontii cavalry. Well-trained compared to many of their enemies’ cavalry, they are invaluable to any army. They throw javelins at a distance, depleting an enemy before charging with their main spears. They are trained to throw javelins, charge, and withdraw repeatedly, and they do it well. A bronze helmet, shield, and light weapons may not seem the equipment of any particularly great cavalry, but they are a solid medium cavalry force, capable of running down routers, defeating light cavalry, and skirmishing if necessary. |

Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (AOR_11_Celto_Hellenic_Infantry) Keltohellenikoi Thorakitai (Celto-Hellenic Infantry) These shock infantry are Celto-Hellenic 'men-at-arms,' Celtic warriors of a mixed culture. While they are not of especially great station, they are capable warriors fighting in the Celtic manner, in a motley combination of Hellenic and Celtic gear and dress: long Celtic shields, a Greek helmet, a Celtic sword, and javelins. They soften up an opponent with their javelins and charge an enemy once they're weakened with the great force of Celtic warriors. |

Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Ara_Levy_Spear) Muqrabe Lukhata (Arabian Spearmen) These men are not levies per se, and are generally superior to pantodapoi and such eastern spear levies, having lived in the harsh desert and having experienced a raid or two in their time. |

Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (nab_bedouin_spearmen) Istrate Bedawi (Bedouin Spearmen) Most people settle near rivers, but the Bedouin people prefer to live in the open desert. These spearmen can be expected to do their job well as light infantry, but their lack of armour means they will have problems facing more heavily equipped infantry. |

They serve as temple guardsmen, perform a host of ceremonial duties and act as escorts to the monarch. On the battlefield, they are considered to be an elite retinue because they are superb melee warriors, fiercely loyal to their king and trained for the most difficult assaults and confrontations. |

Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (nab_slingers) Muqala'in (Nabataean Slingers) Slingers are common in Arabian armies, being levied from the nomadic tribes. These men are mostly lower class herders. The tribesmen are not wealthy, so they march to war in only their simple garments, carrying a light shield and their own, often homemade sling, in addition to a dagger for self-defence. |
