Animal Trader
Feathers, fur or claws: all can be purchased…Exotic animals were prized for display and sport and for their pelts and skins. Some, such as camels, dogs and elephants, were trained for battle. With careful handling, dogs and elephants could cause panic in undisciplined enemies; handled badly they could wreak havoc on friends too! Seleucus Nicator, 'the Victor', and the founder of the Seleucid Empire, gained 500 war elephants from a peace treaty with Emperor Chandragupta of Maurya. They proved decisive in Seleucus Nicator’s victory at the Battle of Ipsus in 301BC. The animal trade was highly lucrative; as the games held at Roman amphitheatres reached their peak, the arenas had an almost insatiable appetite for animal flesh. Some animal populations, even from beyond Rome’s boundaries, were driven to the edge of extinction to feed the spectacles, and eastern merchants were quite happy to take Roman coin.

Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Ara_Camel_Spear) Lukhata haGamla (Arabian Camel Spearmen) Wearing long robes or tunics of skin down to the knees, sometimes with decorated edges, these camel riders are equipped with spears and wicker or leather shields. They do not use reins or bridles; in fact, they drive the camels in the same manner as the Numidians drive their horses: with a stick and a rope wrapped around their necks. In addition, due to the repulsive smell, horses detest camels and try to avoid them in battle. |

Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (nab_bedouin_scouts) Farasin Bedawi (Bedouin Camel Scouts) Most people settle near rivers, but the Bedouin people prefer to live in the open desert. In battle these men provide a highly skilled light camelry contingent exceedingly capable in the roles of skirmishing, pursuit, and harassment. |

Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (nab_camel_archers) Qesatin Gamla (Nabataean Camel Archers) These camel riders are equipped as archers, but they also carry longswords.

In addition, due to the repulsive smell, horses detest camels and try to avoid them in battle. |
