Assault Octeres - Palmyrene Legionaries
Anyone who does not quail before an octeres deserves to fill the belly of a fish.Rich families make for well-equipped soldiers.
An arms race in warship size developed between the various nations around the Mediterranean. Size, in terms of the number of rowers, ships length and bulk and above all majesty of the vessel became as much a tool of statecraft as of warfare. A people who could afford such ships were almost certainly rich enough to withstand the strains of any war. A 'four' or quadreme was still a handy warship, able to manoeuvre in battle. The same could not be said of some of the large polyremes, a word meaning many oars. Practical archaeology shows that too many banks of oars simply don't work, so polyreme probably referred to the number of rowers: an octeres is likely to have had some eight rowers per bank of three oars, arranged in three, three, and two to an oar going up from the waterline. King Demetius of Macedon led his fleet at the battle of Salamis in 306BC from the deck of a hepteres or 'seven', but his ambitions didn't stop there. Neither did those of other kingdoms, and later lumbering warships including 'elevens', 'thirteens' and larger. As bigger ships to carry more rowers such vessels could also carry big marine contingents, arrow towers and an array of useful artillery.
(Palmyrene Legionaries)
As Rome fell into its greatest crisis to date during the 3rd century AD, the client state of Palmyra had grown autonomous and ambitious, launching independent military efforts against nearby enemies such as the Sassanids. As Queen Zenobia marched into Roman lands, claiming them for herself, the resulting Palmyrene Empire encompassed the wealthiest eastern provinces of Rome. As the Mesopotamian border was already heavily fortified against the Persian threat, Palmyra's soldiers were well trained and equipped, coming from the rich families of Syria, Palastynia and Aegyptus. The eastern armies Zenobia commanded took innovation from the local military traditions, using cataphractarii, horse archers, camels and Iranian-style infantry. Her legions were also much more resistant to weather conditions as its conscripts were used to the oppressive desert heat.
