Missile Penteres - Kurdish Archers

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.

(Kurdish Archers)
The origins of the Kurds are oft-speculated. One tale suggests they are the children of the Djinn, seraphic servants of King Solomon who remained on earth after their lord's death. Another legend states that the Kurds were founded by Melik Kurdim, a follower of Noah, after the biblical flood. Whatever their origins, the Kurds were first noted as mercenary slingers for the Seleucid Empire and Parthia. They are not referred to as 'Kurds', however, until the time of the Sassanids, when the founder of the empire, Ardashir, battled the Kurds and their leader, Madig. Their loyalty was fluid; they provided military support for both Rome and the Sassanids throughout antiquity, depending on which power was in overall control of their homelands at the time.
