I/40 PHRYGIAN 851 BC - 676 BC

This list covers the Phrygians (called Mushki by the Assyrians) who under 5 “kings” moved into the vacuum left by the destruction of the Hittite empire and set up a kingdom in west central Asia Minor around 850 BC. It fought the Assyrians until in 709 BC it concluded peace with Sargon II and began paying tribute; and was finally overthrown by the Kimmerians and Urartians. Foot spearmen (possibly leaders) and some horsemen are depicted in striped or chequered, striped stockings, boots and crested helmets. Foot shields are small round and highly decorated, Foot archers wear short sleeved plain tunic, trousers and conical hat. Reference: Armies of the Ancient Near East N. Stillman & N. Tallis.
