     118   * '''History:''' Originally, "Tarantine" cavalry hailed from the Greek city of Taras or Tarentum in Southern Italy. Unlike most other skirmishing cavalry, Tarantines carried a large round shield for extra durability in combat. Later, such armament and tactics were picked up by Successor light cavalry, carrying the large round shield while hurling clutches of javelins into the enemy ranks at long or short range. The name "Tarantine" remained and was used by bands of Greek and Successor mercenary cavalrymen well into the Hellenistic era.

    120120   * '''Function:''' Higher pierce armor than normal, owing to their large round shields. They are mercenaries, with all the traits that designation entails.
