Hi there so we have a lot of info about cretan archer in the alexander - roman period about what armor/headgear they r wearing. But what would their bows look like is it just composite bow that looks like the Persian ones ? Or do they have a distinctive look to them? Also do they draw with the Mediterranean draw or thumb draw? Im actually trying to re-enact as one so I need specifics if anyone knows. Thx !
Hi there so it turns out I have alot of questions, so that I don’t have to make another thread ill just ask here. Im also curious about the roman era cretan archer, do they wear roman style helmet, shield and lorica hamata when they were auxiliary? And also do they carry gladius or just carry the same weapons they have before becoming Roman Auxiliary?
