Archaic Light Infantryman
538 - 522 BC
One of Polycrates light infantrymen raiders. Armed with a short spear and falcata and protected by a (version) of the Persian gerron shield (itself a variation on the Dipylon / Violin shield, possibly modified for use on horseback), obtained while raiding the Ionian Coast.
He and his fellow raider’s are able to get off their penteconter quickly to subdue the town they are attacking.
