Getae Unit Roster

Getikoi Lonchophoroi (Getic Spearmen) Peasant levies are used as simple spearmen, given a simple light spear usable for defence and to sustain attacks. Like the Atecti of the nearby Celts, they are posted at the rearguard, to protect the baggage train and assist better troops in labour duties. The komatai, literally haired, are called as such to differentiate them from the Tarabostes, those who bear a cap, the symbol of their status.

Komatai Euzonoi (Getic Sica Skirmishers) These men are recruited from the peasantry to fight as agile light infantry, able to skirmish with their javelins before closing into melee, where they can be deceptively effective due to the curved blade of their deadly sicas.
