Also they did not carry a hoplon (hoplite shied) they carried a thureos. According to Plutarch, they could fight as skirmishers and then fall back, assume spears and tighten the ranks, forming a phalanx." Ĭalling them "Thureos hoplites" and not Thureophoroi might be a little bit off though since they seem to be distinguished separately from hoplites and skirmishers, or as cross between the two according to Plutarch. They were mobile and could rapidly advance over varied terrain. The thureophoroi were well suited to the tactical needs for smaller states, mainly border defense. They often supported light troops and seemed to be capable of operating in a similar manner to peltasts. Thureophoroi are usually distinguished from both skirmishers and the phalanx and seem to have operated in a role intermediate between the two types.
