Gallic Rome (Empire Divided) Missile Infantry

Auxiliary Rhodian Slingers

Perhaps not as celebrated as their counterparts from the Balearics, Rhodian slingers were nevertheless famed for their skill. As Rhodes was protected by the sea, slingers could hire themselves out as mercenaries across the Mediterranean. They were deadly at 100 metres and could hit targets at 400 metres. Unencumbered by armour, they were highly mobile and could outpace or at least match the pace of most other infantry. Rhodian slingers sometimes made use of small shields with a single handgrip to protect them from return fire, which enabled them to keep position rather than retreat following a volley.
