Historical background
Peltasts were light foot fighters with javelins and a light, often crescent-shaped shield, the pelte, originally from Thrace. Greek armies adopted this way of fighting, and in 390 BC the Athenian Iphicrates destroyed a Spartan detachment at Lechaeum with peltasts. Thracians still served as sought-after auxiliaries in Roman times.
