Taras was the leading power of the scattered Greek states of southern Italy and built their reputation on the unmatched horse warriors who helped the Tarantines claim and maintain their power. In this book, expert author Nic Fields examines the Tarentine horsemen in detail, discussing their tactics, weapons and equipment and detailing how they operated as mercenaries throughout the region.
