前哨骑兵

前哨骑兵(古希腊语:πρόδρομοι),是古希腊的一种标枪骑兵。

在古希腊,前哨骑兵(Prodromoi)字义为「斥侯」、「跑在前方」之义,表示这之部队「行在大队之前」。他们使用标枪和一把骑兵用剑,后期还使用阿斯庇斯圆盾。有时候他们会身穿皮革或是亚麻胸甲的防具,头戴青铜头盔。在马其顿腓力二世和亚历山大大帝的军队中,前哨骑兵携带标枪进行侦查和前哨等工作,但他们有时会换上萨里沙长矛,与重骑兵一同对敌军冲锋,因此得到「萨里沙骑兵」的称号。

在马其顿军中,除了伙友骑兵和色萨利骑兵外,另一支骑兵就是前哨骑兵,其余就是佣兵或同盟骑兵了。

Prodromoi 前哨骑兵

In ancient Greece, the Prodromoi (singular: Prodromos) were the skirmisher light cavalry. Their name (ancient Greek: πρόδρομοι, prοdromoi, lit. "pre-cursors," "runners-before," or "runners-ahead") means "moving before the rest of the army". They were equipped with javelins, argive shields, and cavalry sword. Sometimes they wore either linen or leather armour, as well as bronze helmets. Later, in the Macedonian army of Philip II and Alexander the Great, the prodromoi carried skirmishing equipment for scouting and outpost duties; they were also occasionally brigaded together with the heavy cavalry for a charge, in which case they would have been re-armed with the sarissa and given the epithet sarissophoroi.
