Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Ara_bodyguard_cav) Nauariya haRabb (Arabian Bodyguard Cavalry) Every Arab tribal leader surrounds himself with fierce warriors who make up his personal guard. These riders are the elite, to be used in times of crisis. The men of the guard are equipped with a lance, sword, shield and leather armour. Agile and powerful, they can be used anywhere on the battlefield and against any enemy. |

Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Ara_bodyguard_inf) Hurasunan Tosita (Sabaean Bodyguard Infantry) These men, though devoted to the Sabaean high priesthood and their ancient city-gods, are personally loyal to their king - who exclusively pays for the cost of their equipment and training. They serve as temple guardsmen in addition to his personal escorts, marching as a ceremonial guard and as an elite corps of regular troops in battle. They are superb melee warriors, fiercely loyal to their king and trained for the most difficult assaults and confrontations. |

Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Ara_medium_cav) Abbir Farasin (Sabaean Medium Cavalry) Hailing from a highly urbanised society, these men come from both small and large settlements. Many help to work royal land grants, a few ride horses provided by stables owned by their local high priesthood, and some even enroll in the forces of semi-independent city commanders. |

Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Ara_Noble_Sword) Haghar Hayar (Sabaean Nobles) Hailing mainly from the splendid city of Maryab, these nobles would rather avoid combat, yet are well-trained and possess the best armour and weapons available: high-quality longspears, composite bows and strong shields. They are truly an elite force to be reckoned with, able to hold the line even against the heavy infantry of the Hellenes. |

Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (AOR_18_axum_nobles) Aithiopikoi Pelekuphoroi (Noble Axemen of Axum) Raised from among the higher social groups of the Aethiopians, these noblemen are armed with a double headed axe and a shield. Highly skilled, these men can easily break through an enemy line of lower quality infantry. They can inflict substantial damage, even to well-protected enemies. |

Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Ara_red_sea_inf) Gunud haAhrama (Red Sea Light Infantry) When the men of the Red Sea Coast are called to war, they fight in a manner centuries old. Armed with the traditional balta harbiye, a double edged axe, and light wickerwork and leather shields, these men form a light and unruly levy. |

Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Ara_shortsword_warriors) Muqrabin (Arabian Shortswordmen) These hardy men from the desert rush into battle with what they can afford - a sword, helmet, and buckler - and cut down enemy skirmishers or spear-armed infantry. Relying on their speed and buckler to ward off enemy missiles, they are very vulnerable to arrows, and do not stand much of a chance against a cavalry charge, but can effectively deal with infantry of similar quality. |

Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Ara_thureos_soldiers) Siyyafunan (Arabian Thureos Soldiers) These thureophoroi are little different from their Hellenic counterparts. Armed with swords, along with the large and robust thureos shield, they have their qualities as a defensive force, keeping a strong front against infantry. The thureophoroi, common in the Hellenistic kingdoms, are well suited to the tactical needs of smaller states, mainly border defence. |

Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Ara_archer_spearmen) Gunud Shbeta (Light Archer Spearmen) These lightly armoured Arabian archers are versatile troops. Equipped with bows and spears, these men are able to provide an army with ranged support while also acting as light spearmen. However, the versatility of these troops is their main advantage, and they should not be expected to hold out for long in melee against disciplined opponents. |

Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Ara_Levy_Skirm) Istratutiya (Arabian Light Infantry) These lightly armed men are not much to look at, clad in simple attire and armed with the most rudimentary spears and shields, but they are far more capable soldiers than they seem at first glance. Years of both tribal skirmishing and warfare on behalf of their Sabaean rulers has made them into warriors of surprising merit and skill. |

Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Ara_sabean_archers) Hazin Shab (Sabaean Archers) The bow is a cheap yet effective weapon useful for both hunting and war. These men do not have the money to buy expensive equipment, as most of them are farmers from one of many small villages. They may not look like much, but they are valuable when used well on the battlefield. |

Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Ara_Slingers) Qala'in Arabi (Arabian Slingers) Slingers are common in Arabian armies, being levied from the nomadic tribes. These men are mostly lower class herders. The tribesmen are not wealthy, so they march to war in only simple garments, carrying a light shield and their own, often homemade sling, in addition to a dagger for self-defence. |

Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Ara_Levy_Spear) Muqrabe Lukhata (Arabian Spearmen) These men are not levies per se, and are generally superior to pantodapoi and such eastern spear levies, having lived in the harsh desert and having experienced a raid or two in their time. |

Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Ara_raiders) Gunud haMadnakha (East Coast Levies) These raiders and pirates dominate the military stage of Eastern Arabia. They are light infantry equipped with padded armour worn over their tunics and wicker shields, giving them some protection against arrows. They are swift, agile troops, and their spears give them an edge against light cavalry. |

These men are not professional soldiers and are not the best-equipped either. Their shields and spears are strong, yet nothing is stronger than their loyalty. |

They do not use reins or bridles; in fact, they drive the camels in the same manner as the Numidians drive their horses: with a stick and a rope wrapped around their necks. In addition, due to the repulsive smell, horses detest camels and try to avoid them in battle. |

Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Ara_Cav) Farasin (Arabian Light Cavalry) The tribes that provide these cavalry forces are generally nomadic, and as such they spend more time mounted than on foot, even if the mount is often a camel rather than a horse. In battle these men are a highly skilled light cavalry contingent, exceedingly useful for skirmishing, pursuit, and harassment. |

Cavalry / Chariot / (Ara_sabean_chariots) Seregelanan (Sabaean Chariots) The only chariot image that specifically depicts military use is at Hafrat Berd, where two of the three men in the chariot box are wielding weapons. The man in front appears to have a sword, and the man in back may have a bow. There are always two horses, but the box, its position, the number of spokes, wheel construction, and the number of men (1-3) are highly variable and often not very realistic. |

Medium Ship / Melee Ship / (Eas_Assault_Quadreme_Arab) Assault Tetreres - Gunud haAhrama A quadrireme is a 39 meter long oared warship with two decks of oars, each rowed by two oarsmen. It is a useful battleship developed by the Carthaginians at the end of the 4th century BCE, but it lacks the speed and agility of lighter triremes. (Red Sea Light Infantry) When the men of the Red Sea Coast are called to war, they fight in a manner centuries old. Armed with the traditional balta harbiye, a double edged axe, and light wickerwork and leather shields, these men form a light and unruly levy. |

It has one and a half rows of oars, making it faster and more powerful than earlier uniremes. (Light Archer Spearmen) These lightly armoured Arabian archers are versatile troops. Equipped with bows and spears, these men are able to provide an army with ranged support while also acting as light spearmen. However, the versatility of these troops is their main advantage, and they should not be expected to hold out for long in melee against disciplined opponents. |
