Heroes of Bronze - Toxarchos (Archer Commander)

"The toxarchos was a commander of - or officer in - a group of archers (toxotai). Toxarchoi are mentioned both by Thucydides in the conflict between the Athenians and Aetolians, and by Arrian, in his description of the war between Macedonians and Thebans. On the Nereid monument from Lycia, dated 390 BC, we see a unique representation of a heavily armored archer, who is probably the leader of the other archers shown in the scene. He is fighting at the side of a hoplite, reminiscent of the entaxis or parentaxis, in which men with missile weapons acccompanied hoplites in battle."
- from Ancient Warfare magazine VIII.2, "Commander of Archers" by Spyros Bakas
