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_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).""""

2	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.

3	300	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (AOR_10_Italian_Levies) Sikelioi Milites (Sicilian Levies) Angry Sicilians with spears should never be dismissed lightly.

4	175	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (AOR_10_Italian_Slingers) Sikelioi Sphendonetai (Sicilian Slingers) Even in the hands of levies, slings are dangerous weapons.

5	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.

6	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.

7	120	Cavalry / Shock Cavalry / (Scy_reform_lancers) Skytho-Sauromatai Kontophoroi (Scytho-Sarmatian Lancers) These Sarmatian-inspired cavalrymen from the East form the bulk of the ancient Scythian heavy cavalry. These cavalrymen are highly skilled nobles, able to afford impressive armour.

8	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Ste_Sarmatian_Horsemen) Sauromatae Fat Aexsdzhytae (Sarmatian Horse Archers) Life as nomadic herders on the steppe produces highly skilled bowmen and riders who can put those abilities to very good use on a battlefield. Typical horse archers carry little or no armour and are likely to suffer if forced into melee against most adversaries.

9	200	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Ste_Sarmatian_Light_Spearmen) Sauromatae Arc Aexsaeg (Sarmatian Light Spearmen) Sarmatian Spearmen are raised from settled groups of formerly nomadic Sarmatians such as the Siraces of Ciscaucasia. A shield is typically their only protection, and they use spears and short swords for offense.
9	200	200	355	355								22	9	11	60	1	20	45
10	200	Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Ste_Spear) Halstehveyyau (Saka Spearmen) These Saka spearmen wear no armour, and carry a shield and spear to battle. They are passable infantry and can hold their own against other low-quality infantry of a similar nature. However, due to their lack of armour, they should not be employed against the heavier infantry of settled peoples.
10	200	200	405	405								26	9	10	58	1	20	45
11	200	Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Ste_Tribesmen) Payai Dunai (Saka Foot Archers) They carry are a fairly large recurved composite bow which, with its relatively longer siyahs and body, shows a deviation from the traditional Scythian recurved composite bow and a transition to the later “Sassanian” and Hun types of more eastern steppe nomads, enabling them to outrange, outshoot, and out-power steppe nomad horse archers."
11	200	200	957	957				9	165	4	15	27	9	10	56	6	20	45
12	200	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Ste_Young_Axes) Saka Tapabara (Saka Axemen) In addition to their iron sagaris axes, these warriors carry fire-hardened javelins. For protection, they carry square reed shields reinforced with leather, which, though light, are very resistant to missiles. They are best used for flanking already engaged foes or as lightly armoured shock troops, but if tied up in a lengthy melee against more organised or professional enemy warriors, they will soon break and flee.
