Product details

Background & context

In early Bronze Age Mesopotamia (c. 2900-2350 BC), the city-states of Sumer, Akkad, and Elam were constantly rivalrous powers. The Household Axemen represented the bodyguard of the city-kings - well-armed and equipped elite troops compared to the common levy infantry. Their distinctive battle-axe was one of the preferred melee weapons of these early high cultures and is depicted on numerous stelae and reliefs of the period. These figures can also be used as household troops of the early Anatolian uplands or the city-states of the Arabian coast.

On the tabletop

The bodyguard of an Early Bronze Age city king carried the axe, while the levy fought with the spear. In Hail Caesar you add these eight axemen to Sumerian, early Akkadian, early Syrian or early Elamite armies, best placed right beside the general. Mixed with the Early Highlander Axemen they form the bodyguard of a highland chieftain. They can also serve as Hattian axemen or as troops of Arabian coastal city-states such as Makkan.
