From what I have read this is probably a loaded question.
I am looking to improve apon my churches Nativity story. The Herodian military was made to look like Romans with a really bad costume designer. I have done some research: Greece and Rome at War by Peter Connelly, and The Army of Herod the Great by Samuel Rocca. Both of these books say that the Herodian army was a mixture of Greek and Military ranks, arms, and armor. I am not able to make heads or tales of, its all greek to me!
What would be the terms for heavy and light infantry?
Where there multiple types of heavy and light infantry?
What would some of the arms and armor of these types?
