Mercenary. Hired from a regional pool, not recruited from a building.
Class: light · Category: infantry · Men per unit: 40
Falarica Infantry are light infantry armed with a special javelin, the Falarica. The Falarica is a javelin that is set on fire before it is thrown, causing panic and discord in the enemy! They use it as their main weapon, throwing it before charging with their swords. Their light equipment, in the form of leather armour, a small round wooden shield (the Caetra), and a leather helmet, gives them the plenty of protection and agility required for good skirmisher troops. The only difference between them and "regular" Caetrati infantry is the use of the Falarica, a javelin that can be set ablaze, and which is the ultimate anti-elephant weapon, next only to the famous flaming pigs.
