Hell, no. I’m in the minority camp that believes even with Achaemenid logistics at the height of their game, they couldn’t have sustained an army of much more than 100K in the field for any meaningful period of time. We don’t need to exaggerate the numbers 100K still way > 7K.https://twitter.com/nicholasheurich/status/1223683589554016257 …
Different topic but would defensive raised armies usually be larger than invading armies because they were closer to home/supplies?

didn't most ancient armies basically live off the land while invading? Didn't they scavenge and loot between battles?
