  10. No, these are Sassanid's allies and natives from subjugated regions. The infantry armed with short spear and a shield are Yemeni troops which is beyond 0 AD time frame but the Omani Marine did appear in 0 AD time frame so i decide to post the picture on the previous post.

  18. They should be mercenaries, not champions or conscripts.
  19. No, but the Parthians prefer to use cavalry as the instrument of offense instead of infantry, unless the enemy have threatened the very existence of the Empire itself or else these infantry will always be camp followers, urban or fortress garrison that keep the border safe from the Romans or the nomads from the steppe.
