Spatharii tou Vasileos
Athanati (General's Bodyguard)
officer:
Emperor's heir...
This army roster aims to mods that start at 1080ad!
Unit cards...
Unit list:
1:Acontistae
Acontistae (javelinears).
The basic infantry unit of a provincial army armed with light javelings,small wooden baclers and small axes!
Basicaly peseants armed by the local governor...
2:Toxotae
Toxotae:
According to standard millitary orders each provincial ruller(general)had to keep a large number of "soft"bows to provide the city's defending poppulation a basic weapon to help against the attackers!
The description"soft"refairs to the string's power!!The peasants were not profesionals to know who to hundel a combosite bow!
Unlike the other "psiloi" units toxotae with battle expiriance were paid by the local general in order to have access to some basic armors to ingrease their surviving possibilities!
Their most ussual equipment was exept the bow,a small wooden bucler and a small axe or a sword for close combat...
Often they used hard leather or padded armors!
3:Contarati
Contarati
As a word means spearmen from the ancient greek word "kontos" and the later byzantine version "kontarion"...
4:Gasmuli
Gasmuli:Latin merchants often created families in the cities
they lived.Children of theirs called by the rest popullation
gasmuli.Some historians of their times use to claim that
gasmuli were exelent naval crews mostly naval heavy
archers.
5:Latin handgunners
In order to protect their interests in the cities they had merceant stations,Italian
merceants formed some small units with exnaval crews or mercenaries
strait from Italy!They armed them selvs with every "new"weapon they could buy..
Handguns were some of them!
6:Castrophilakae
Castrophilakae.
Every province ruller(the local general) had an obligation by the law to reqruit a small profetional hardcore unit by his expences!
They took their name(castrophilakae) by the word 'καστρα" castles a generic name for fortification walls in the greek languege...
So they were mainly the wall keepers in peace times.As wall keepers we mean that they maned the border forts or the kleisoures(small forts on crossroads and other strategic positions...From the kleisoures forts their officers took a name as kleisourarchae...
Their 2nd task was to enforce the law as a "pollice" force in the cities by the General's orders!
7:Archontopula
Archontopula:Their name means "children/sons of the nobles...
For the 1st time in the empire's existance emperors reqruit underage
(younger than 19 years old)soldiers...They may lack of expirience but
they are considered some of the most"fanatic"troops!!
8:Acritae
9:Acritae(mounted)
Acritae.For the greek/romans these soldiers were the most famous of all(and population wrote many epic songs and myths for them)...
They were the successors of the limitanei roman troops and afcource their name also means border (acri=final line of the state=border)...
As troops were the majority of semiprofessional soldiers of each province(thema).For the reqruitment of Acritae the "military lands" status were invented...Lived by the military lands close to the empire's borders they transformed from light to medium multi role soldier acting as border guards during peace and as raiding forces or ambushers during war time...
They were a multi functional tool to every generall and his province.
10:Scoutati(swordmen)
11:Scoutati(spearmen)
Scoutati:
Their name means the shield cariers!(just like ancient greek hoplitae)...
They were part of the majority of the line infantry and the unit's name continued to exist all the empire's life...
They used to name like this for the easiest separation of the lansarii (light spearmen-later known as contarati) and from the heavier of the 600-800 era unit of promachi!After 800 the scoutati and promachi coexist in one unit as simple scoutati!In some ocations also named as (h)oplitae as well!
12:Mourtati
Mourtati.
The empire often suffered by lack of good archers ...
Komneneans were somehow lucky by the entance of large number steppe warriors
mostly turks and turkomans who change their religion and became sitizens of the empire...
The kursores/defensores unit system was in use again!
13:Cavalarii
Cavalarii.Their name means horsemen...They were not just one unit through out history but they are remembered as the medium multi role kind of cavalry the empire used almost all it's eras and survived until the end in the Empire of Trapezond 1460ad!
14:Stratiotae
Stratiotae.
The cost of having and support a horse,often millitary training and the cost of a good
and afective armor was quite big...Thematic way of reqruitment solved that problem
by giving a farm (the farm's income)to a soldier in order of keeping him to his millitary
obligations(and not care how he will manage to survive)...
Their name was often Stratiotae...
15:Varangian Guard
Etairia ton varangion(Varangian Guard):
Warriors from north europe were in the empire's service from the late
roman era especialy from germanic tribes.In the years of the
emperor Basileios II a new kind of warriors became part of the
imperial army's roster...The famous viking origin Varangians known
as (pelekiphoroi phrouroi)”the guards armed with axes”.This unit
of mersenaries was in duty to the last moments of the empire.
Many saxon warriors entered the unit after 1070ad!
Type:Saxon huscarls,viking varangs.
16:Skithikon(steppe merc warriors)
Skythiki etairia(skythikon):
As scyths romans named all eastern type of warriors,mostly the
steppe ones like turks,petzenengs and others.They were tough warriors and
skilled horsemen and the correct antidote to scimilar opponets.
17:Latinikon
Latiniki etairia(latinikon):
Since the time of Jiustinianos and the roman reqonquista in Italy
many european origin warriors offered their military servise to the
empire.Francs,goths,lombards and the most famous of
them the Normans...
18:Alamani(germans)
Alamani
This was the name of all "german"origin mercenary troops from 3rd to 14th century.
They started as tribal or auxilia troops and tranformed to allied(help from German allies)
ones...They ussualy formed heavy infantry units...
19: Pronoiarii
Pronoiarii.
Nikephorus Phokas as emperor made the start...
In order to have access to heavier cavalry gave biger lands to some soldiers...
Komneneans trying to find not only heavier cavalry but also armed political support
gave the right to some soldiers not only to have access to more larger farm lands(Pronoias)
but also the right to arm some private serveants with the obligation to attach to the imperial
armies when needed...It was the feudal era in Medeival Roman Empire...
20:Scholarii
Sholae units(or Vasilika Tagmata):These ellite fully proffecional
imperial units well known as cataphractoi or clivanophoroi (from
the type of their armor),are the hard core of the imperial army.Mostly
are very heavy cavalry but they have infantry units in their roster too.
Their infantry units were known as vasilica tagmata ton opliton and
their cavalry were known as vasilica tagmata ton ippeon or simply
Tagmata.
21:Siphonatores
Siphonatores:
Very few things are known for those "imperial" troops...
They were among the most trusted (becouse of the secret weapon they caried)
and most protected(by armor) troops of the empire!
We know that they started as ship asault troops but they soon used as wall asault
or defending ones too!!!
22:Spatharii tou Vasileos
After excubitors lost the their duty
as imperial guards and became one of the four(4) imperial ellite units known as Vasilica Tagmata,the very personal guarison of the emperor
was a small,mostly dratitional unit the spatharioi. Their leading
officer was known as Protospatharios tou vasileos (he carried the
emperor's sword in official presentations and seremonies.Having in their
disposal the imperial armoury,they were one of the most heavily
armored unit in the world!
