Tower Penteres - Armoured Armenian Archers

From a shipboard tower, all enemies become little targets to be potted at will.

Defence is often more important in ranged combat than just shooting arrows.

The 'five', called a quinquereme in Latin and a penteres in Greek, was a ship first used by the Syracusans against the Carthaginians sometime around 398BC. Like other polyremes, a term meaning many-oared, the chances were that it did not have five banks of oars but that the word 'oar' was used to mean 'rower'. In such a case, the arrangement of rowers would be two-two-one going up from the waterline. It makes sense to keep as much weight as possible low in the vessel to help its stability; a high centre of gravity makes any ship liable to capsize if struck from the side. The quinquereme, then, would be a formidable vessel both in terms of appearance and combat value. With a large fighting contingent aboard and plenty of deck space, this heavy vessel could cope with most enemies and threats.

(Armoured Armenian Archers)
On the battlefield, an archer's aim is either his greatest skill or his most glaring weakness. Arrows have great power and impact, but if aimed slightly off target are little more than a distraction for the enemy. Mainly, ancient archers used the broadhead arrow, used for both war and hunting. Some marksmen employed three-bladed broadheads, or tribolate arrowheads, that could easily cut through flesh. The larger, stronger men among their number were also equipped with heavier armour, ignoring speed for the ability to take an arrow themselves and not necessarily be killed outright.
