weapons and armour of the greek marine
#45
I also think that most archers on board would have been citizens,but your argument is not valid for Salamis. At that early age even the Athenian navy would not be so well equiped as 50 years later.It is true that the tyrants had used Skythian mercenaries to serve as police men in the city of Athens befor, but I don't have references of their use in the navy. And I don't think Skythians ever fought against Persians in the Persian wars. During the Peloponnesian war,it's another story.
