Stephen,
Agree with you on arrows.
Question on cloth: only wool what about linen and perhaps cotton from India at least for aristocratic elites?
Agree also that royal escort was mainly cavalry but t no royal or imperial guard seems to have been without infantry through time.
"immortals" might be the Greek interpretation but I leave that open.
Kind regards
