This miniature portrays a Thracian peltast, a light infantry warrior from ancient Thrace. Known for their speed, curved rhomphaia swords, crescent shields (pelte), and distinctive cloaks (zeira), Thracian soldiers were widely respected and recruited as skilled mercenaries throughout Greece and the ancient Mediterranean.
Lightly armored but highly mobile, peltasts excelled in hit-and-run tactics, skirmishing, flanking attacks, and battlefield maneuver — a sharp contrast to the heavy hoplite phalanxes of their time.
This figure is cast in high-quality white metal (tin) and hand-painted with layered shading, highlighting, and fine detailing to emphasize movement and texture. The miniature comes mounted on a display-ready base, perfect for presentation.
