This fellow is from a civilization which has just worked out how to economically work iron as a cheaper alternative to bronze. The area has been united in a loose kingdom born of twelve city states, each with their own satellite towns. Each settlement is required to raise a few fighting men who are rotated among the towns to keep order. The average levy in these armies arms himself with whatever he can scrape together, but the best fighters are armed with public gear. Each weaponsmith has to provide some weapons as part of his taxes. These best fighters serve as elite heavy infantry clad in bronze and iron scale armor, iron helmets with scale veils to protect their faces, triangular iron swords and iron and bronze headed javelins. They have high morale, can take more of a beating than tunic clad spearmen, are well trained and gain useful experience with each fight. They are the fist of the kingdom.
