Class: light · Category: infantry · Men per unit: 60
The Persians recruited a particularly ferocious Iranian tribe (known to them as the Takabara) for a strong offensive front, as well as for garrison forces. They were called Takabara because of the arms which they carried. The 'Taka' is the crescent moon shaped shield, which eventually many Persian units would adopt because of the better maneuverability afforded by its shape. The Takabara were also armed with axes capable of cleaving through bronze.
