    well, really it was only Rome that had full time professional troops

    I guess some other nations might have had some full time troops like the spartans or the persian immortals but they were before the diadochi timeframe

    I have a question of my own now: For the Parthians, were their cataphracts professional troops or just nobles like the macedonian companions?
