Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Scy_armoured_lancers) Skythioi Lonchophoroi (Scythian Armoured Lancers) These armoured lancers wield a lancia: a one-handed lance, shorter than the kontos, mainly used by the Sarmatians. They also have a light thureos shield of wicker backed with leather, covered with painted linen, as well as leather and scale armour, and modified Greek-style helmets. |

Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Ste_Noble_Lancers) Skuda Uaezdaettae (Scythian Noble Cavalry) The Skuda Uaezdaettae, or Scythian nobles, fight in a manner almost more similar to the Greeks than their nomadic ancestors, preferring the xyston or spear to archery, even though they still carry composite bows. Equipped with a fine linothorax reinforced with metal scales, long pteryges, and a Greek-style bronze helmet, they are still a deadly cavalry force, though not to the extent they once were. |
