Illyrian Infantry x8

Illyrian Infantry. Pack of 8 figures (four different poses). Illyrians were renowned warriors, according to ancient sources. They were known as skilled craftsman and shipbuilders in ancient times and controlled much of the Adriatic and Ionian Sea using their numerous warships. Illyrians had effective weapons such as the sica, a curved-tip sword that originated in Illyria and was eventually adopted all over the Balkans and used later by the Romans. The Illyrian tribes had been already heavily Celticized by the time Romans conquered Illyria in 168 BC and the equipment of our figures reflects this.
