History

“	The standing army of the Inca was formed primarily by nobles, but the Sapa Inca could raise an army of able-bodied men from the general populace at will. Military discipline was strictly enforced when the troops were on the march and the army, although variously specialized, was extremely well trained. Drawing on the resources of a vast empire, the Inca recruited warriors from numerous subordinate tribes with their own military traditions. The Ashaninka, known to the Inca as Anti, were particularly skilled archers from the rainforests of modern-day Peru. Their bowmen were adept both in stealth and the field, firing poison-tipped shafts that made a grim end of their enemies. As battles in the Andean region tended to open with a hail of projectile weaponry before the forces closed in melee combat, Ashaninka bowmen were a valued support force.	”
