AP-38YB – Persian Kardake Infantry

The vast Achaemenid Persian Empire drew fighting men from territories stretching across an extraordinary portion of the ancient world. Among the more intriguing troops associated with its later armies were the Kardakes, soldiers whose precise organisation and status continue to be debated by historians.

Ancient sources describe Kardakes in ways that suggest they could serve in several different infantry roles, with comparisons made to Greek-style hoplites and peltasts. Their appearance and equipment therefore provide a fascinating glimpse into a Persian military system increasingly influenced by the enemies and mercenaries with whom it came into contact.

AP-38YB – Kardake Infantry by John Jenkins Designs presents one of these distinctive Persian warriors and makes an excellent addition to an Achaemenid army facing the forces of Greece or Macedonia.

Available from The Military Workshop, this figure is ideal for collectors looking to expand the Persian ranks and bring greater variety to an ancient battlefield display.
