Iapygian Rebels (Rise of the Republic) Missile Infantry

Iapygian Archers

The Apulia region of southeastern Italy was inhabited by Iapygian tribes, an ancient Indo-European people who were most likely Illyrians who had crossed the Adriatic Sea and settled. Three tribes inhabited Italy's eastern coasts: the Daunians, Peucetians and Messapians. All three spoke the same language, but were different in other aspects of their culture and traditions. Iapygians were similar to Greeks in that they did not have a centralised kingdom, instead co-existing as independent city-states. Relations between Iapygians and their Greek neighbours were initially peaceful and focused on trade until 473BC, when the Greek polis Taras attempted to conquer Iapygian towns. Apulian city-states participated in the Second Peloponnesian War as allies of Athens, providing archers for their expeditionary force against Syracuse. Ultimately, the entire expedition was destroyed, further damaging relations between the Iapygians and Greeks.
