Saka Rauka Melee Cavalry

Agema Hippeon Hellenikon

(Indo-Hellenic Heavy Cavalry)

Some time after the Saka began assimilating the territories of Hellenic dynasties, they initiated a practice of political accommodation with the old government, calling on them to raise up levies of their countrymen for service in the army of the King of Kings. They are equipped as heavy cavalry, in a mix of Hellenic and eastern equipment, protected by a heavy bronze muscle cuirass, bronze helmets, trousers, and greaves.

Like the Companion cavalry of Macedon, these elite horsemen from the lands of Parthia and Pontus were recruited from among the nobility and social elite. Gradually they developed into a permanent and professional bodyguard force. Following both Hellenic and Persian traditions, they were armed with lances and armoured in a similar fashion to their Macedonian counterparts, but their mounts were armoured in eastern style. This gave their charges extra weight and meant that they were not only a counter to other cavalry forces, but could also be sent into the flanks of densely-packed infantry. The eastern influence also meant that the nobles were quite at home using the bow, as they had spent their formative years hunting from horseback.
