Atropatkan Missile Infantry

Thanvare-i Aturpatekan

(Heavy Atropatenean Archers)

These archers are the result of numerous Achaemenid Persian reforms, more or less inspired by Greek military traditions. Their armour is made of quilted cloth, leather, or quilted leather, often studded with bronze or iron rivets, offering some rudimentary protection without compromising mobility too much.

Very few Persians were professional soldiers and, apart from the earlier elite Achaemenid Immortals and some mercenary hoplites, none were formally trained or drilled. Instead, troops were levied by rich land owners as an obligation during times of war. Levied infantry included slingers, archers and javelin throwers, all wearing little armour but some with shields for protection. As might be expected due to the local terrain, cavalry was an important component in an eastern army, and several types were raised. Lighter cavalry wore iron or bronze scale armour over a tunic; these mounted warriors carried javelins and a sword but had no shield. Horse archers were used to wear down infantry with fast, ruthless attacks. Heavy cavalry included a royal bodyguard. The Parthians, and later the Sassanid Persians, developed all-over horse armour to protect their valued steeds as well as the fearsome cataphract warriors. These were as armoured as any late medieval knight.
