I/19 MITANNI 1595 BC - 1274 BC

After the fall of the Amorite dynasties and the withdrawal of their Hittite conquerors, Hurrian political control spread out into both Syria and northern Mesopotamia to establish a Mitannian empire, greatly aided by their recent adoption of massed chariotry techniques that made them temporarily unbeatable until their neighbours copied the techniques and slowly caught up. As well as the aristocratic “maryannu” armoured chariot bowmen who became the exemplars for all would-be rivals, the army included supporting infantry of varying status and efficiency including many bowmen.
