150,000 warriors?

edit

Two issues here. First, such high numbers are at best dubious, and need strong support - and ancient Greek sources frequently exaggerate 'barbarian' numbers. Second, "warriors" is ambiguous at best, and can mean anything from tribal militia to mercenary soldiers. 173.66.211.129 (talk) 15:17, 6 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
