Description

In the armies of Philip II and Alexander the Great, the elite infantry regiments were the Hypaspists and the Argyraspides. While the Argyraspides ended up in the East, in the ranks of the Seleucid army, "Hypaspist" become more of a title for high-ranking officers (as mentioned by Polybios in XVIII, 33, 2). For a long time, there was confusion among historians as to what the elite regiment of the Antigonid army was. In the 1950s respectively 1980s, however, two stones with inscriptions were unearthed in Greek Macedonia, with inscriptions describing the "Peltasts" of the 3rd century BC Macedonian army. The beginning of the first inscription, the so called Drama stone, was restored by Pierre Juhel and Nick Sekunda to: "They shall enrol those well provided with property in the agema and the other peltastai [...]." This tells us that the Peltasts were an elite regiment, recruited from the wealthy and well educated parts of the Macedonian population, and that there was an Agema regiment within them.
