Product details

Background & context

At the end of the Early Bronze Age, the late city-states of Mesopotamia - above all the Akkadian Empire and the Neo-Sumerian successor states - shaped warfare in the Two Rivers Land. Their heavily armed spearmen formed the dense shock combat line of the battle array, comparable to an early phalanx. Large body shields made of wickerwork or leather protected the front ranks, while the rear ranks engaged in combat with long thrusting spears. These troops were also found in Elamite and early highland armies as household troops or mercenaries.

On the tabletop

Toward the end of the Early Bronze Age, the main battle line of the Akkadian and Neo-Sumerian successor states consisted of spearmen like these. The eight figures are designed so that the front rank carries shield and spear and the rear ranks only the spear, keeping the wall of spears visible on a two-rank base. In Hail Caesar they form the centre of your deployment and stand up to frontal attacks. Early Elamite and early highland armies can use them as household troops or mercenaries.
