Historical background

Rome had no tradition of archers of its own and recruited them as auxiliaries, the sagittarii, mainly from Crete, Syria and other eastern provinces. They carried the composite bow and served in cohorts of their own. Their importance grew under the Empire, especially in the fighting against Parthians and Sasanians.
