Syracuse (Occupied)

Strategic Hellenistic capital.

Anche nel mondo antico, le grandi città si originavano in posti già abitati da molto tempo, perché il luogo era facilmente difendibile, i guadi di fiumi controllati, le risorse naturali disponibili nelle vicinanze e si era al riparo da inondazioni e altri disastri naturali.

Nonostante le migliori intenzioni dei governatori, raramente era possibile pianificare lo sviluppo delle città. In alcune sezioni si potevano ammirare i palazzi pubblici a ridosso di strade larghe e aperte, i templi disposti in magnifico splendore, e dimore patrizie che nascondevano la loro opulenza dietro facciate noiose. Ma altrettanto facilmente, percorrendo pochi passi nella direzione sbagliata, ci si poteva ritrovare in un labirinto di piccoli vicoli, con case attaccate l’una all’altra, bassifondi fatiscenti, taverne, bordelli e mattatoi, tutti alla ricerca di un piccolo spazio all’interno delle mura.

La città rappresentava il mondo in miniatura, con tutto lo splendore e lo squallore che questo implica. I Greci e i Romani potevano ritenersi entrambi popoli orgogliosi per la loro civiltà e sofisticatezza, ma allo stesso tempo avevano di che vergognarsi, per la sporcizia e la mediocrità a pochi metri di distanza dallo splendore.

Qadosh'ba
(Ethiopian Axemen)

These fierce soldiers fight with the heaviest of the infantry. They wield large double-bladed axes and fight as powerful shock infantry. They wear a mail vest and leather greaves in addition to a long tunic. Fighting without helmets or shields, these men crash into an enemy line ferociously, using their large stature and raw power to push through enemies with reckless abandon.

Gastraphetes
(Crossbow Infantry)

This unit is the forerunner of medieval arbalesters. The gastraphetes crossbow, however, is more a handheld siege weapon than a battlefield weapon. The army of Syracuse was one of the first to use this weapon, with one unit of psiloi under the tyrant Dionisyus I. Later, this weapon would find its way into the Macedonian army of Alexander, used during several sieges by specially trained soldiers to kill city defenders.

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).""""

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.
