Class: light · Category: infantry · Men per unit: 40
The Skiritai were Arcadian Perioikoi from a small strip of land called Skiritis (Diod. XV, 64, 3; Thuk. V, 33, 1). These men are protected by a small Pilos helmet with a felt cover on the inside to soften the blow of a spear or sword. They are wearing a variation of the chiton called an exomis, which leaves the right shoulder free for sword or spear movement. Armed with a Xiphos sword and the short, dagger-like Spartan sword, they are best used in melee. Trained for special missions, fast and mobile, they are a great addition to any Lakedaimonian army.
