History:
Heavy cavalry played a key role in the military successes of Alexander the Great and the wars of the Diadochi that followed. The Companion Cavalry, renowned for their devastating charges with long xystons, were elite units at the heart of the Macedonian army. As the Hellenistic kingdoms evolved, cavalry units diversified, adopting regional styles such as Thessalian tactics and equipment or the heavily armoured cavalry of the Seleucids. This set captures the shifting styles and battlefield roles of Successor cavalry across two centuries, offering modellers the flexibility to recreate units from the height of Macedonian dominance to the later dynasties of the Eastern Mediterranean world.
