15mm Ancient Greek psiloi  -  Posted: Feb 17, 2009  -  Manufacturer: Xyston Miniatures
These Aitolian psiloi are based specifically on a battle between Aitolia and Athens, when the latter invaded the Aitolian mountains. Basically, the Aitolian Psiloi (pictured above), chased the rank and file Athenians into a forest. When the Athenians refused to come out, the Aitolians burnt the forest and destroyed the choking and routing Athenians. Thus, for this stand, there is a burnt tree and the foliage is a little burnt as well. The psiloi on the stand are the classic Greek Psiloi with their animal pelt as a shield and their undyed wool tunics and hats. Long live Aitolia!
