What would an authentic Bosphoran Kingdom army look like?

I agree on both fronts, too many heavy archers and it stops being both challenging and realistic. Though they're archer-swordsmen, rather than archer-spearmen (which I believe the Persians are), which would make them less durable against cavalry.

Heavy Persians carry swords.
