Ardiaei Melee Infantry

Illyrian Infantry

Warriors drawn from the landed class of the Adriatic coastal provinces. Those young men with families wealthy enough to provide full battle kit were compelled by local rulers to join loosely organized infantry companies during times of conquest and plunder, or when their lands were under threat of foreign invasion. While they lack the discipline of professional soldiers, their youth and hunger for glory make for energetic warriors.
