Historical Background: The infantry was the largest branch of the Persian army, consisting of three main groups: the king’s royal guard, the "Immortals," and troops from various nations within the Persian Empire. The royal guard included 2,000 elite foot soldiers, while the "Immortals" were a permanent force of 10,000 warriors. If any soldier fell, they were immediately replaced to maintain their numbers.

Many Persian infantrymen carried large yet lightweight shields woven from reeds, offering reliable protection against arrows. A significant portion of the infantry was armed with bows, allowing them to deliver devastating blows to enemies from behind their protective shields.

This historical miniature set is an excellent addition to your collection or diorama projects. Bring ancient battles to life with these meticulously crafted figures!
