		The Agrianes were renowned for their skill in battle, and large numbers of them were enlisted in Alexander the Great's army, especially as javelin-men.
		Agrianes, according to Thucydides, was a Peonian race and lived in the Upper Valley of Strymon.
		They are the descendants of ancient Thracian tribes, such as Moesi, Agrianes etc., of ancient Celtic tribes who founded the Tulis Kingdom in 270 BC, of Germanic tribes such as Gepids, Heruli and Goths, of Slavic tribes and of those Bulgarian invaders who originally inhabited a region east of Volga river.

		Interestingly this is a role proponents of the Hypaspists as "light armed" troops, sans sarisa and in hoplite panoply, assign to that corps in pitched battle.
		The Agrianes, I'd argue, were much the better suited and the literary evidence tends to support it (particaularly Arrian's description of the placement of these troops in the battle line).
		As is the fact that the senior phalanx commander - and after the murder of Parmenion, senior general - Craterus is regularly stranded on the left with the cavalry abutting his phalanx.

		The acquired their name from a Turkic or Finno-Ugric tribe which invaded Moesia in the 10th century AD.
		They are the descendants of ancient Thracian tribes, such as Moesi, Agrianes etc., of ancient Celtic tribes who founded the Tulis Kingdom in 270 BC, of Germanic tribes such as Gepids, Heruli and Goths, of Slavic tribes and of those Bulgarian invaders who originally inhabited a region east of Volga river.
		In modern times, many Bulgarians speak a Southern Slavic language which has been deeply influenced by Medieval and Modern Greek, as well as - though in a lesser extent - by Osmanli Turkish.

	Agrianians
		Some few were armed with slings, this might have been the younger tribesmen.
		The slingers and javelin men seemed to operate together at a number of actions..notably Issus (which is the inspiration for the set-up above) where a detachment of Agrianes with some Companion squadrons in support drove back thousands of Persian threatening Alexander' right flank at the start of the action.
		The officer is from Old Glory, the Agrianes were lead by a Macedonian officer and I like this figure (even though he is bearded).

		They are counted by the Romans as a part of Illyria, as I have previously said, for which reason it seems proper that I should include them in my Illyrian history.
		They have been renowned from the Macedonian period through the Agrianes, who rendered very important aid to Philip and Alexander and are Paeones of Lower Pannonia bordering on Illyria.
		When the expedition of Cornelius against the Pannonians resulted disastrously, so great a fear of those people came over all the Italians that for a long time afterwards none of the consuls ventured to march against them.

		I have convened council once again, though lacking Parmes who has now taken the Thessalians and Agrianes to Sardis for resupply and to prepare for the fall campaign against Phrygia.
		In this council I brought forward my philosopher, Xenothrates, to interpret the great omen that lay above us on the mount near our camp: a white eagle, who has not moved the length of the day, and the shadow of the eagle falls directly upon the threshold of my tent.

		The Agrianes are represented by 2 units representing 500 men each, the GBA had 2 units of uncertain strength.
		While Diodoros only mentions 1000 Agrianes and Archers as crossing to Asia, it is very likely that there were some in the advance force already there.
		This is represented by 9 units of 500 totalling 4,500 men compared to 6 units of 750 totalling 4,500 men in GBA.

		Probably that's irrelevant, but in Greece, after the (inhuman) military barrier around the pomak areas fell, we're trying to make the pomaks form a 'national' identity of being Agrianes, an ancient tribe of the area, that fought with Alexander in Asia.
		The base of this is that the pomaks call themselves 'Ahran' or something.
		The sad thing is that such a behavior is still going on, in countries that intend

		Alexander's Macedonian infantry consisted of 9,000 Foot Companions and 3,000 hypaspists (lighter infantry).

		None the less, he concluded an alliance of friendship with them and sent them home, merely remarking under his breath that the Celts thought too much of themselves.
		He then made for the territory of the Agrianes and Paeones, where a message reached him that Cleitus, the son of Bardylis, was in revolt, and had been joined by Glaucias, the prince of the Taulantians, and, further, that the Autariates intended to attack him on the march.

		In 146, because Rome removed their old enemy Sparta from the League, the Achaians revolted, were defeated, Korinth, by now the capital, was brutally sacked and the province of ‘Achaea’ created.
		Evidently a Paionian tribe, the Agrianes had their own king and seem to have acted independently of Paionia.
