II/2 MOUNTAIN INDIAN 500 BC - 170 BC

This list covers the north-western mountain border tribes of India, such as the Assakenoi and Paropamisidae, from their first appearance until their incorporation into Greek Bactria. Their best troops were javelin-armed light horse, those of the Paropamisidae being brigaded by Alexander with Arachosians. Foot used a long spear or a bow against Alexander’s Macedonians, but climbed hills when overmatched and were out-shot by his archers. Indian mercenary guildsmen are described by Diodorus and Nearchos as tough opponents armed with javelins, heavy sword and long narrow hide shield.
