Historical background
In the Achaemenid Empire archers formed the core of the foot, protected by men with large wicker shields who set up a shield wall in front of them. In the Persian Wars they lost repeatedly to the heavily armoured Greek hoplites. Under the Sasanians, from AD 224, the infantry stood in the shadow of the armoured cavalry.
