Sparta Unit Roster
Infantry Units
|
Spartiatai Epheboi (Spartan Youths) Young Spartans, not yet ready to fight in a proper phalanx, are tasked with chasing off skirmishers in battle. Their tactics are one inspiration for the Iphicratean reforms of heavier peltasts. Due to their lighter equipment and extensive training, they are able to catch up with light units of other nations – not many can outrun them. |

Cavalry Units
|
Homoioi Hippeis (Spartan Cavalry) Sparta is not famous for its cavalry, but it fields some nonetheless. The job of fighting on horseback is relegated to those unfit for the phalanx or as a form on punishment, but their expenses are paid by the wealthier citizens. Due to a lack of proper training and cavalry traditions, these horsemen generally perform poorly. |

Neohomoioi Phalangitai (Spartan Pikemen) A hundred years after the defeat of classical Greek troops at Chaeronea, Cleomenes III would decide to add a pike corps to his own armies.

Epilektoi Ionai Xystophoroi (Picked Ionian Lancers) While Spartans themselves never fielded good quality cavalry, they were not oblivious to the importance of mounted troops. Started by Agesilaos II, a small but elite cavalry force was fielded. These mercenary riders from Ionia are picked after a strict selection process, in order to make sure only the best serve the limited resources of Sparta. |
