Historical background
Archers belonged to almost every ancient army. In the east the composite bow, glued together from wood, horn and sinew, prevailed; in the west mostly the simple wooden bow. Greeks and Romans often hired specialists such as Cretan archers. They fought at range, usually under the protection of heavy infantry.
