An equally important and fascinating part of Ancient Persian culture,however, was it’s warfare. Weapons and warriors was important to the Ancient Persians because it was part of their war. We can learn more about this cultural aspect by looking at the Ancient Persians warriors, wars, and weapons.

One of the great known things about Ancient Persia’s are it’s weapons.One of the weapons they created was the spear, a 6 foot long primary weapons that was used for mid-range kills. It dominated the opponent until Alexander the Great beat them with their own spear. They used it a lot because of it’s length and how powerful it is and they barely had to move. The spear is one of the most dominant weapons in the world. They still use it today, but not for war, for spearfishing. Another weapon they invented was the Bow and Arrow. It helped them in their wars, especially during the wars against the Spartans because it was hard for them to defend them. As their were a lot of different Bows and Arrows the Ancient Persians seemed to have the best of them though. Although the light arrows were ill-suited for piercing armor or shields the sheer number of arrows fired often overwhelmed opposing armies. Ancient Persian archers wore their quivers slung over their hips to allow for a faster rate of fire.

The Ancient Persians had one of the most dominant empires. Ardeshir Radpour was the head commander of the army. Cyrus Zahiri is a Persian Sword Master. Warriors choose their type of top of the weapon. What they used back then that the Persians made they use a lot of it now.
