I/53 SAITIC EGYPTIAN 664 BC - 335 BC

This list covers the Egyptian Armies from the establishment of the 26th dynasty at Sais until the Persian conquest in 525 BC. It then covers the Athenian expedition to Egypt of 460 BC to 454 BC, the period from the revolt against the Persians in 405 BC until the Persian reconquest in 343 BC and the final unsuccessful revolt in 335 BC. Sais started as an Assyrian client kingdom, but later took over Egypt. The 4-horse chariot had now spread to Egypt. Some foot had round shields and a pair of javelins and horsemen had a pair of javelins but no shield. Spearmen had a large shield and a long spear and were considered tough fighters by Xenophon.
