Colchis Unit Roster
Infantry Units
| Jari (Colchian Levy Spearmen) Armed with a rectangular wicker shield, a spear, and knives or axes, these levies wear a tunic, often brightly coloured, but have no armour at all, even a linen cap. These are poor commoners, thrown to the battle with little training, though they will follow simple orders. They are not intended to make complicated tactical moves, but only offer a large-scale spear buffer. Class: 3 Size: 300 |

They also bear a short sword and a 75cm to 1-meter wide aspis shield, made with wood and reinforced with bronze. They also wear a crested Urartian cone helmet.

| Chalyboi Doryphoroi (Chalybes Pikemen) The armour of these spearmen consists of a leather helmet, greaves, and a long quilted linen tunic. Instead of the leather pteryges of a Greek corselet, the Chalybes have plaited cords to provide protection below the cuirass. Their main weapon is a sarissa. They are useful against light infantry, but their lack of shields means they are vulnerable to enemy arrows. Class: 2 Size: 256 |

| Rkinashgharthamephish Jari (Colchian Foot Guards) These men are the elite, drawn from the best of those willing to serve in the prestigious royal guard. The short-sleeved iron scale corselet worn by these men provides a high degree of protection. They use a large old-fashioned, circular silver shield with an iron rim, similar to the Greek Aspis shield. Exceptionally well-drilled and trained, these men have the discipline and organisation to do whatever their lord might ask of them, and they are full of courage, unwilling to turn their back on the enemy.

Cavalry Units
| Prodromoi (Colchian Medium Cavalry) These soldiers are armed with javelins and a deadly Tabar axe for the clash of battle. While unable to stand up to a charge of Parthian cataphracts or shatter a Seleucid phalanx, they can hold their own against medium and light cavalry, or break lighter infantry. Class: 2 Size: 120 |
