Peltasts (Greek singular: peltastáj) is a formation of light infantry, functioning in the Greek dawn and which is certified as a source for the classical period (5th-4th century BC), and perhaps developed at the end of the archaic era. Peltasta had a characteristic light shield, called pelta (Greek: pelte), from which the name of the entire formation was derived. The pelta was made of wicker and leather, about 0.6-0.7 meters in diameter. In addition, he had from a few to a dozen javelins from 1 to 1.6 meters long, a short sword and, most often, a helmet. He wore greaves less frequently. Peltasts often interacted with slingers and archers, and their main task on the battlefield was to harass the enemy's hoplites. During the Greco-Persian wars, their importance was extremely auxiliary, but during the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC) their role significantly increased, and thanks to changes in tactics, they were able to independently decide about the course of battles. They also played a significant role in the Macedonian army in the times of Philip of Macedon and Alexander the Great.
