Description

The Sacred Band of Thebes is the elite infantry of Greece and can be relied upon to do their duty to the end. They are equipped and organised in the same fashion as hoplites, with long spears, large shields, heavy armour and helmets, and they can use phalanx tactics. This is a style of warmaking that has proved its worth over the centuries.

The Theban Sacred Band was composed of pairs of male lovers which increases the bond between soldiers. These troops are the elite of the elite, often facing Spartan hoplites and beating them!
