Atropatene Missile Infantry

Armenian Slingers

The Kingdom of Armenia was a crossroads between Persia and Rome, and its military style was influenced by both sides. In late antiquity, Armenian territory was highly contested between the Sassanid and Eastern Roman Empires. Militarily-speaking, its archers were a source of remark, with some sources suggesting they could reliably kill from up to 200 metres. Its cavalry, too, was renowned, and that mountain people could breed such excellent riding stock was often a source of surprise amongst their opponents. Under the Sassanid Empire, Armenian cavalry was honoured as elite, alongside the Savaran, with a position of distinction at the royal capital, Ctesiphon.
