Description

The Sacred Band was the military elite of Carthage. Lavishly equipped, this formation was comprised of Carthaginian citizens of high rank. As Carthaginians were exempt from military service, the Sacred Band were those who had volunteered for a military life. They fought as a well-drilled phalanx of hoplites, in muscled iron cuirasses with pteruges, plumed Montefortino helmets, greaves and round shields. The large boss-less "Argive" shields are about a metre in diameter, at the high end of the size range for "Argive" shields. They have no blazon, but are simply painted a plain white.
