Sparta Unit Roster

Infantry Units

Spartiatai Epheboi

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.
