Levy Spearmen I

Hupshu or peasant militia as levied by the City-States of Syria & Canaan, those of Mitanni, Middle Kingdom Assyria, Kassite & Middle Babylonia and the Hittite Empire. 

They can also be used in Early Hebrew (Habiru) and Nomadic Desert or Dry Steppe Bedouin armies, whose warriors would have dressed similarly. These include the early Aramaeans, (Akhalamu), Midianites and Amelekites, Edomites & Moabites.

They can be mixed in with Levy Spearmen II to give units a more irregular appearance.

The figures can also be used as Levy or Hupshu Spearmen in Neo-Hittite & Later Syrian or Aramaean armies of the Iron Age, in addition to the later specific Iron Age figures.

These figures have a light spear and either a round or oblong wicker shield.

Pack contains 8 Figures (nominally 2 of each type pictured, though variations may occur)
