The Achaemenid Persian Army

by Duncan Head

The Achaemenid Persian Army (c. 550–330 BC) was a massive, diverse imperial force known for its reliance on light infantry, skilled cavalry, and archery rather than heavy armor. Organized on a decimal system (units of 10, 100, 1,000, and 10,000), it featured a professional core—notably the 10,000 "Immortals"—supported by vast levies from conquered nations.

The book contain a detailed study analyzing the composition, equipment, and tactical employment of the army, including its varied contingents.

بررسی کامل و جز به جز ارتش هخامنشی و نبرد هایش..خواندن این کتاب قطعا از حوصله بسیاری خارج است،اما نکات و جزئیات جالبی از پوشش و ابزار و سازماندهی ارتش هخامنشی بیان می کند..البته منابع گسترده ای باقی‌نیست و بسیاری از جزئیات به طور دقیق مشخص نیستند.
کتابی که در روز تولدم به پایان رسید!
