Britannia (Empire Divided) Missile Infantry

Auxiliary Numidian Javelinmen

Numidia had a fierce warrior tradition, partly due to the bitter feuding and internal warfare between the eastern Massylii and western Masaesylis. While the Numidians were famed as cavalrymen, their infantry forces were also quite effective. The historian Suetonius mentions that there were 'Numidian Legions' - a term normally reserved in Roman writings to describe Roman troops - when passing comment on Julius Caesar’s speech about Juba’s march to aid Scipio before the Battle of Thapsus in 46 BC. This suggests that some Numidians were fighting in the Roman style, and were possibly equipped in the same manner. The Numidians also adopted other tactics and war gear, such as the thureos-style shield and hoplite-like spears.
