Seleukidai Hypaspistai [NA/EU]
« on: October 28, 2014, 09:54:17 pm »




Hail, Hetairos! Before you stand the Seleukidai Hypaspistai: the elite of the elite and the Basileus' personal guard. We are a North American Regiment that utilizes the Ptolemaic Thorakitai class and units (however we do use other units depending on the events) and the owners of the Antiocheia server, which we use to host events / training. Additionally, to uphold our namesake, we focus our trainings on a multitude of aspects. One of these aspects being close quarters combat, which can play an important and decisive role in Bello Civili events. If you by chance fancy a regiment that desires to be skilled and organized yet maintain a friendly environment, then feel free to give our regiment a try. Moreover, if you're in need of sparring buddies to improve your own fighting ability outside of training, we have many who are willing to answer your call. Our schedule consists of training on Saturday at 6:00pm EST / 10:00pm GMT, with Shield battles on Friday at 6:00pm EST / 10:00pm GMT and Sunday at 4:00pm EST / 8:00pm GMT.
If you have any questions about us that I have not covered, contact one of the officers from the contacts section on the bottom of the thread.


Seleukidai Hypaspistai Banner

Historically, the Hypaspistai (shield-bearers) first appear with Alexandros at the beginning of his reign as his elite troops and bodyguard. He used them extensively throughout his anabasis for special missions, assault of fortifications, and in support of light troops in rough terrain; however, details of the unit seem to disappear by the time Alexandros reaches India and remain as such until appearing in various sources for the three remaining Diadochoi kingdoms in different forms and perhaps briefly in Epeiros with Pyrrhos. Such examples of their deployment count them as possibly numbering a fifth of the 10,000 Arygraspides corps of the Seleukid kings or as the military police and closest guard of the Makedonian kings. Yet, despite their prowess, the Hypaspistai were either forced to evolve past the antiquated hoplite model as in the east or vanish with the fall of their kingdom as in the west.

We're mainly NA but if we get EU people that are able to attend our trainings & events then we'll let them in, hence the "NA/EU".

Also thanks to those who wish us luck, we look forward to helping Bello Civili rise again!

Good Luck

All my life I’ve been fearful of defeat. But now that it has come it’s not near as terrible as I’d expected. The sun still shines, water still tastes good…glory is all well and good but life is enough, nay?
