After a brief excursus on the use of ranged weapons in the Greek and Hellenistic world, we'll explore the development of marksmen units within the Roman army, starting from the Accensi of the Age of Kings, passing through the ethnic units of archers and slingers of the Republican Age and ending with those of the Imperial Age, which sees the first cases of consistent use of mounted archers by the armies of Rome.
If the Roman army, like many Western military realities, was born refractory to a reasoned tactical use of ranged weapons, the confrontation with the Barcid and Hellenistic armies will lead it to quickly review its approach, coming to use more and more frequently units of specialized marksmen who will be incredibly effective especially in the clashes with the Barbarians of Northern Europe.
