Tabriz Peltasts
Peltasts by name, light infantry by choice.Peltasts were the mainstay of the Achaemenid and Atropatene military, and due to the lack of dedicated heavy infantry, many decided to become adept in melee combat. Tabriz peltasts were a special variety, not afraid to partake in close quarters combat, owing their survivability to quick reflexes and agility, as well as the cunning and skill expected of Persians.
