Kingdom of Epirus?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Does anyone know anything about Epirus? What did their soldiers look like? Were they just the same as other Greek nations or did they have other influences like Illyrian or maybe even Italian?

Thanks for taking the time to read this haha,

The soldiers from Epirus proper would be largely indistinguishable from other Greek powers, such as the Macedonians, Aetolians, and Thessalians. Though, the Epirote kings did hire Gallic, Thracian, and Cretan mercenaries, and had Greco-Italic allied units during the Pyrrhic War with Rome. These would largely use the weapons and armor from their own ethnicity.
