I/56 — KYRENEAN GREEK 630 BC

I/56 KYRENEAN GREEK 630 BC - 74 BC

Kyrene was the largest of the Greek colonies in the Cyrenaica region of modern Libya. This list covers Kyrenean armies from the city’s foundation until its annexation by Rome. Kyrene was unusual for copying 4-horsed chariots from its Libyan or Egyptian neighbours and for using vehicles to provide fast transport for its hoplites. The simplest way to simulate this is to represent these as chariots whose crew dismount as hoplites. In 322 BC, Kyrene was annexed by Ptolemy of Egypt, but the Macedonian governor he installed soon rebelled and set up as an independent ruler. After 308 BC, Kyrene was loosely attached to Ptolemaic Egypt, but largely independent. Reference: Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars D. Head.
