Hieros Lochos

"Sacred Bands", recruitable only to Thebaoi.
Sacred bands are not unique units, so they have a varied appearance.
===Overall strategy===
These units are similar to the Carthaginian Dorkim B'hurim with several exceptions - firstly, they require Populism to be recruited. Secondly, they don't have much armour as the Dorkim B'hurim, but what they do have are two things - faster movement speed, and an anti-hoplite attack bonus. As a result, only a fool would dream of attacking the Thebaoi with Hoplite-type units.
