The Cavalry Decree
Who gets it: Rhodes
Messengers: Demos and Boule of the Rhodians, hear us out! We bring Aspis shields from Greece, to be carried by cavalry!
People: WHAT!?
Messengers: The time has come for our Hoplites to fight from horseback, as other Greeks are now doing. We must move with the times.
People: <murmuring and mumbling>
Messenger: Oh, strategoi, will you adopt our suggestions?
Strategos 1: Rhodes is always at the forefront of change and innovation. I recommend to adopt the reform.
Strategos 2: The demos alone rules, hence I will stay silent. Let us vote!
And so, the people of Rhodes voted to introduce Aspis bearing horsemen into their army. Long live democracy!
