Creating an army with the Mortem et Gloriam Army Lists Use the army lists to create your own customised armies using the Mortem et Gloriam Army Builder.

There are few general rules to follow: 1. An army must have at least 2 generals and can have no more than 4. 2. You must take at least the minimum of any troops noted and may not go beyond the maximum of any. 3. No army may have more than two generals who are Talented or better. 4. Unless specified otherwise, all elements in a UG must be classified identically. Unless specified otherwise, if an optional characteristic is

taken, it must be taken by all the elements in the UG for which that optional characteristic is available. 5. Any UGs can be downgraded by one quality grade and/or by one shooting skill representing less strong, tired or understrength troops. If any

bases are downgraded all in the UG must be downgraded. So Average-Experienced skirmishers can always be downgraded to Poor-Unskilled. 6. Points are shown for troops with all mandatory characteristics applied. Points have been rounded to the nearest whole number. If quality or

shooting skill is downgraded, then the points (including the points for any optional characteristics) will need to be adjusted. 7. An army entirely of Cavalry, Chariots, Camelry or Infantry with the Dismounted characteristic may choose the No Camp option.

Where allies are allowed, they must conform to the following rules:

1. They must be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 UGs. 2. They must take enough UGs to get them to at least 50% of the minimums in the list being used. 3. They can thereafter take any troops up to the maximum to create the rest of the allied contingent. 4. Unless specified in the notes, the general must be the same type as the army commander in the main list but cannot be legendary.

Usually this results in 1-3 UGs being compulsory and you having full flexibility on the rest. Where an internal ally is allowed, and no contingent is specified they must conform to the following rules:

1. They must be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 UGs. 2. The total number of troops taken of each type in the entire army must not exceed the maxima for that troop type. 3. They must take enough UGs to get them to at least 50% of the minimums in the list if there is enough allowance for a UG after the core army

itself has taken the minimum. For example: An army has 4-12 cavalry (UG size 4,6) and 18-32 spearmen (UG size 6,8,9) as compulsory troops with 2 internal allies. The core army must take 4 cavalry and at least 18 spearmen. The first ally must take 4 cavalry and at least 9 spearmen. The second ally must take 4 cavalry but cannot take the 9 spearmen as this would exceed the 32 spearmen limit for the army.

4. They can thereafter take any troops up to the maximum to create the rest of the allied contingent. Usually this results in 1-3 UGs being compulsory and you having full flexibility on the rest.


Poor quality TuGs in Pacto must start with 2 or 3 elements. TuGs downgraded from Average quality must start with 2 elements, except where they are already allowed 3 elements. Poor quality SuGs or Average quality downgraded to Poor may start with 1, 2 or 3 elements. As a courtesy to your opponent, when you deploy your troops you should describe it fully; type, training, quality, protection, melee weaponry, shooting skill and weaponry, characteristics, and which ally if appropriate. You should also explain how any unusual troop types in your army function and any special rules including Stakes, Caltrops, Barricades and Obstacles and troop types such as Battle Wagons.

Friendly and Scenario Games Feel free to vary the troop classifications for friendly and scenario games. An interesting aspect of scenario games can be to see what the effect is from representing troops in a different manner.


Historical Introduction Yehud Medinata (Aramaic for "the province of Judah"), was part of the satrapy of Syria. It had been held by the Neo-Babylonian Empire since the fall of the kingdom of Judah in around 597 BCE. It came under Persian rule when Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon in 539 BCE. After the death of Cyrus, his son Cambyses invaded and conquered Egypt (525 to 522 BCE).

The Persian conquest was significant for the Jews as it allowed some inhabitants of Jerusalem who had been exiled by the Babylonians to return to Jerusalem. An initial contingent returned in the reign of Darius I and a later contingent in the reign of Artaxerxes I. The Temple at Jerusalem was rebuilt and the roles of the High Priest and the aristocracy were established that were to have a significant effect on history four centuries later.

Persian rule in Egypt (known to historians as the 27th dynasty) was not accepted by the priesthood. In around 411 BCE, Amyrtaeus, a native Egyptian, revolted against Darius II. He succeeded in expelling the Persians from Memphis in 405 BCE with assistance from Cretan mercenaries. Following the death of Darius in 404 BCE he proclaimed himself Pharaoh of Egypt. Although Artaxerxes II attempted to lead an expedition to retake Egypt he was unable to due to the revolt by his brother Cyrus the Younger. This allowed Amyrtaeus to solidify Egyptian rule over Egypt.

Nefaarud I founded the 29th Dynasty by defeating Amyrtaeus in open battle. On his death, two rival factions fought for the throne, one behind his son Muthis, and the other supporting a usurper Psammuthes. Although Psammuthes was successful, he only managed to reign for a year. He was overthrown by Hakor, who claimed to be the grandson of Nefaarud I. He successfully resisted Persian attempts to reconquer Egypt, drawing support from Athens, and from the rebel king of Cyprus, Evagoras. Although his son Nefaarud II became king on his death, the younger Nefaarud was unable to keep hold on his inheritance.

The 30th Dynasty was founded after the overthrow of Nefaarud II in 380 BCE by Nectanebo I. He spent much of his reign defending his kingdom from Persian reconquest with the occasional help of Sparta or Athens. In 365 BCE, Nectanebo made his son Teos co-king and heir, and until his death in 363 BCE father and son reigned together. After his father's death, Teos invaded the Persian territories of modern Syria and Israel and was beginning to meet with some successes when he lost his throne due the machinations of his own brother Tjahapimu. Tjahepimu took advantage of Teos' unpopularity within Egypt by declaring his son, Nectanebo II, king. The Egyptian army rallied around Nectanebo which forced Teos to flee to the court of the king of Persia.

Nectanebo II's reign was dominated by the efforts of the Persian rulers to reconquer Egypt. Artaxerxes III attempted an unsuccessful invasion of Egypt in the winter of 351/350 BCE. The repercussions of his defeat prompted revolts in Cyprus, Phoenicia, and Cilicia. Although Nectanebo gave support to these revolts, Artaxerxes would eventually suppress these rebellions and was once again able to invade Egypt in 343 BCE. This second invasion proved successful, and Nectanebo fled south to Nubia. He may have managed to maintain some form of independent rule in the south of Egypt for 2


more years. Although a shadowy figure named Khababash proclaimed himself king and led a rebellion against the Persians from about 338 to 335 BCE. Nectanebo has been considered the last native pharaoh of Egypt.

In 333 BCE Alexander the Great defeat Darius at Issus. He proceeded to take possession of Syria, and most of the coast of the Levant. In the following year, he was forced to attack Tyre, which he captured after a long and difficult siege. Alexander moved against Egypt and met resistance at Gaza. After three unsuccessful assaults, the stronghold fell, but not before Alexander had received a serious shoulder wound. Alexander advanced on Egypt where he was regarded as a liberator. He founded Alexandria which would become the prosperous capital of the Ptolemaic Kingdom after his death.

After the death of Alexander, Perdiccas appointed Ptolemy as satrap of Egypt. Ptolemy soon established himself as ruler in his own right and successfully defended Egypt against an invasion by Perdiccas in 321 BCE. When Antigonus, ruler of Syria, tried to reunite Alexander's empire, Ptolemy joined the coalition against him. In 312 BCE he defeated Demetrius, the son of Antigonus, in the battle of Gaza. Ptolemy lost Cyprus after the naval battle outside Salamis, but after the death of Antigonus took the opportunity to secure Coele-Syria and Palestine (which had been allocated to Seleucus). This led to a series of wars between the Ptolemaic and Seleucid empires that were to last until the arrival of the Romans. Ptolemy III was to march as far as Babylonia but Seleucus II was able to retain his throne. In 170 BCE Antiochus IV Epiphanes invaded Egypt and deposed Ptolemy VI. Antiochus was thwarted by the intervention of the Romans and their envoy Popilius Laenus and forced to withdraw.

The Ptolemaic kingdom now declined in power due to family feuds. In 51 BCE Ptolemy XI died leaving his kingdom to be shared between Cleopatra VII and her brother Ptolemy XII. Cleopatra was expelled but re-established her position when Caesar arrived in Alexandria after his victory at Pharsalus. Caesar was besieged in the palace quarter (48 to 47 BCE) but eventually defeated the Ptolemaic troops and Alexandrian mob with the help of a relief army from Syria. In 41 BCE Cleopatra met Mark Anthony. After several years, he committed himself to Cleopatra and tried to rule the eastern Mediterranean as a triumvir from Alexandria. Octavius rallied Rome against Anthony and Cleopatra, depicting it as an invasion by a foreign power. Anthony and Cleopatra were defeated at Actium and Egypt became the personal property of Octavian (Augustus) and part of the Roman Empire.

The Jewish rebellion against the Seleucid kingdom was triggered by an attempt to impose Hellenistic customs upon the Jews. From 161 BCE the Seleucid king Demetrius I sent three expeditions. The third defeated the rebels and for ten years the region was relatively peaceful. In 132 BCE Antiochus VII captured Jerusalem after a two year siege. John Hyrcanus accompanied Antiochus on his Parthian expedition but survived the rout and for the next twenty five years ruled an independent Jewish kingdom. Under his successors the growth of a Greater Judaea continued whilst the Seleucid kingdom collapsed.

In 64 BCE Pompey reached Syria after the Armenian king Tigranes had been expelled. Two rivals Hyrcanus and Aristobulus claimed the kingdom. Pompey favoured Hyrcanus but the supporters of Aristobulus seized Jerusalem. Pompey was forced to besiege and capture Jerusalem. Pompey’s settlement left the region unstable and his successor in Syria, Gabinius, was forced to continually intervene in Judaea. By 55 BCE the kingdom was


effectively a Roman client kingdom. From this state emerged Herod who was able to negotiate the complex world of Jewish and Roman politics and once confirmed by Octavian, governed Judaea until his death in 4 BCE. The kingdom was divided amongst his sons but was converted into a Roman province about ten years later.

Carthaginian and Libyan allies may be taken together.SPECIAL RULE: Mounted hoplites move as Formed Loose Chariots. They are not subject to forced charges. This rule must be proactively pointed out to opponents at the beginning of setting up.

Historical NotesCyrenaica was colonized by the Greeks beginning in the 7th century BCE. They established five cities; the most important colony was Cyrene, established in about 631 BCE. The area fell under the rule of the Achaemenid Persians in around 525 BCE but later re-established independence. In 324 CE a mercenary Greek commander Thimbron recruited by Cyrenean exiles defeated a Cyrenean army and captured two towns. The Oligarchic party in charge of the city recruited Libyans and Carthage to their cause. The Oligarchs were forced out of the city in 322 and invited Ptolemy to restore them. Ptolemy sent his general Ophellas and a large force that defeated Thimbron. Cyrene was then annexed by Ptolemy I but gained independence under Magas a stepson of Ptolemy until his death. It was separated from the main kingdom by Ptolemy VII and given to his son Ptolemy Apion who bequeathed it to Rome in 96 BCE. The Romans didn't organise it into a province, together with Crete, until 74 BCE.

Troop NotesThe bulk of the Cyrenean forces were citizen hoplites. Chariots were used to transport the hoplites over long distances. The city also apparently used four-horse chariots copied from their Libyan neighbours.After Ptolemy seized Cyrene the forces may have included phalangites. Cyreneans appear to have enlisted in the Ptolemaic army in some numbers.

Meroitic Kushite


Historical NotesThe Kushite kingdom, known as "Aithiopia" in Greek sources, was established south of Egypt with a capital at Meroe. An Achaemenid Persian invasion under Cambysses perished in the desert. Meroitic kings supported Egyptian revolts against the Ptolemies and raided Roman Egypt. The kingdom weakened by attacks from the Nobades fell to the Axumite kingdom in around 350 CE.

Troop NotesStrabo describes the Aethiopians as badly commanded and badly armed. The spearmen carried large shields made of raw hides. Some were spear-armed, others hatchets and others axes. Meroitic art depicts archers armed with an axe, sword or spear in addition to bow and there are Ptolemaic figurines with axe and shield only. There is evidence for war elephants, presumably inspired by Ptolemaic practice.

Historical NotesIn around 405 BCE an Egyptian prince of Sais (28th Dynasty) revolted against the Persians, ruling for six years. He was succeeded by Mendes (29th Dynasty) who ruled until 380 BCE. A series of three pharaohs (30th Dynasty) ruled until defeated by the Persians under Artaxerxes in 343 BCE. During this time they inflicted several defeats upon the Persians with the aid of Greek mercenaries.

Troop NotesThe native Egyptian army had been a warrior caste supported by land grants. Greek mercenaries had been engaged in Egypt since the 6th century BCE.

Historical NotesThe Nabataean kingdom was an Arabic kingdom on the territory of modern Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Israel with its capital at Petra. The Nabataeans were allies of the first Hasmoneans in their struggles against the Seleucid monarchs. They then became rivals of the Judaean dynasty. Under the reign of Aretas III (87 to 62 BCE) the kingdom seems to have reached its territorial zenith but was defeated by a Roman army. It was annexed by Rome around 106 CE.

Troop NotesThe Nabateans were Arabs but as they expanded they were increasingly influenced by their Hellenistic and then Parthian neighbours.

Historical NotesPtolemy I died in 283 BCE leaving a strong and stable kingdom to Ptolemy II. The Ptolemaic kings were to fight a series of wars for control of southern Syria and Judaea. A victory was obtained at Raphia in 217 BCE but the arming of Egyptians contributed to a series of rebellions which weakened the kingdom. Dynastic disputes further weakened the kingdom with Rome establishing greater and greater influence.

Troop NotesThe Ptolemaic army followed the Macedonian tradition. Settlers were given land in return for military service and extensive use made of mercenaries. The Roman victories in the 2nd century BCE appear to have influenced the army. Egyptians were armed for the Raphia campaign. This proved a source of trouble for later rulers.Some Elephants were obtained from Ethiopia although Indian elephants captured from the Seleucid kingdom were also used.

The Maccabean Revolt was a Jewish rebellion, lasting from 167 to 160 BCE, led by the Maccabees against the Seleucid Empire. Between around 140 BCE and 116 BCE the Hasmonean dynasty ruled semi-autonomously from the Seleucids. From 110 BCE, with the Seleucid empire disintegrating, the Hasmonean dynasty became fully independent and expanded into the neighbouring regions of Samaria, Galilee, Iturea, Perea, and Idumea. In 63 BCE the kingdom became a Roman client state. In 37 BCE Herod seized power. In 6 CE the Roman province of Judaea was established.

Troop NotesThe army of Judas Maccabaeus started out as a guerrilla force. As the kingdom grew it appears that a more regular army developed, probably organised by Jews who had served in the Seleucid or Ptolemaic armies.

NotesGabinian or Antonine remnant legionaries must be in their own command.

Historical NotesThe Ptolemaic kingdom at this time was dominated by Roman politics. The role of the army was largely to protect the ministers who controlled the Pharoah, to collect taxes and suppress revolts. Legionaries originally raised by Aulus Gabinius were stationed in Egypt. Mark Anthony later stationed legionaries in Egypt.

NotesAn army can be either Blemmye or Nobatae but may take allies from the other.A command may not have more than one TuG of picked spearmen.

Historical NotesThe Blemmye were a nomadic people living in the desert between the Nile and the Red Sea from at least the 1st century BCE. During the 3rd century CE raids on Egypt increased and in 298 CE the Blemmye and Nobatae occupied Nubia after the emperor Diocletian withdrew Roman troops.

Troop NotesThe Blemmye raided with archers on foot and cavalry mounted on donkeys or horses. A 4th-5th century source describes them as bold fighters using spears and bows. War Elephants were used.

Jewish Revolt

Troop NotesThe Jewish rebels lacked military organisation. The historian Josephus appears to have been an exception in trying to put his troops on an organised footing.Jewish troops were mostly armed with javelins, sword or knife and a long shield. A minority were equipped with bows. A small amount of captured Roman equipment was also available.

Historical EnemiesJewish Revolt; Early Imperial Roman


Historical NotesThe Jews revolted on three occasions, in 66 to 73 CE, 115 to 117 CE and 132 to 135 CE. The first, the Great Revolt, was defeated by Vespasian and his son Titus. The destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE was a turning point in Jewish history, leading to the synagogue becoming the centre of Jewish life. The second revolt (known as the Kitos War), while poorly organized, was extremely violent and took two years for the Roman armies to subdue. The third revolt was led by Simon bar Kokhba. This resulted in genocide, a ban on Judaism, and the renaming of the province from Judaea to Palestine.

Axumite


Historical NotesAxum emerged in the 1st century CE on the highland plateau of modern Eritrea and Tigray. At the height of its power it dominated the region and controlled the profitable trade route through the Red Sea from south Asia to the Mediterranean.

Axumite armies were similar to Blemmye armies. Cavalry at this date were rare. Spears were short and accompanied by javelins, a short sword and large round hide shield. Little armour was worn.
