I/44 NEO-BABYLONIAN 746 BC - 539 BC , 522 BC - 521 BC & 482 BC

This list covers the armies of Babylon from the accession of Nabu-nasir; starting with a period of nominal Assyrian rule, then the creation of the independent Neo-Babylonian empire in 625 BC and its period of dominance until the fall of the city to the Persians in 539 BC; and finally two later revolts against the Persians. Babylonian cavalry in Assyrian reliefs are apparently unarmoured and their horses without felt trappings. After 605 BC, many archer units were fronted by spearmen with long shields like those used by Assyrians, so are represented by double elements with spearmen in front of bowmen and classed as (8Bw). Reference: Armies of the Ancient Near East N. Stillman & N. Tallis.
