Missile Penteres - Nabataean Light Peltasts
Archers can shoot down upon many enemies from the deck, doing terrible work in the process.A screening force of javelinmen is money well spent.
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.
(Nabataean Light Peltasts)
These skirmishers were named for their small crescent-shaped leather or wicker shields or 'peltai'; it was common among the Greeks to name troops for their style of shield. In addition, they wore little or no armour and carried three javelins. After harassing the enemy, peltasts would hastily retreat before any counter-charge or flanking move could be carried out. As armies developed and tactics became more complex, peltasts were expected to fight hand-to-hand too, being given stiffened-linen cuirasses and short swords with which to defend themselves in melee. They were still expected to use javelins, but could then join in the close-quarters fighting. Eventually, as infantry got heavier during the iron age, peltasts even exchanged their characteristic shield for the heavier thureos, although their name and battlefield function remained unchanged.
