Historical description and use

The Immortals – the elite Persian infantry force, always kept at 10,000 strong – were a symbol of the Achaemenid military power. This formation served as both the king’s personal guard and the core of the army during great conflicts with the Greeks. They were distinguished by their typical equipment: a long spear, reflex bow, akinakes sword, and characteristic decorative garments. They took part in key battles of the era such as Marathon (490 BC), Thermopylae, and Plataea, and their presence often decided the outcome of the engagement.
