History
The Prodromos were skirmisher light cavalry that carried either a Javelin or a Heavy Spear. As armor they wore cloth or leather for their body, a bronze helmet, and a shield. They would often be mixed in with heavy cavalry to counter enemy horsemen. Under Alexander the Great they would become scouts and outpost guardsmen.
