Kofyaren
(Hyrkanian Hillmen)

Verkhana Kofyaren, or Hyrkanian Hillmen, are bands of warriors from the various clans of Hyrkania in northern Persia. These men are adept at guerrilla warfare and can serve as fierce light infantry. They wear simple tunics and are armed with spears, axes and shields. They are fierce warriors and will give a good account of themselves, but more disciplined infantry will get the better of them in combat.

Parthohellenikoi Thureophoroi
(Partho-Hellenic Infantry)

These thureophoroi are little different from those of Hellenic nations. They are recruited from garrison soldiers of the numerous Parthian cities in western Iran and Mesopotamia, and are often descended from Greeks, or even deported or captured Romans. These medium infantry are armed with a thrusting sword and a thureos shield, and wear relatively light quilted leather or linen armour as well as helmets.
