Suggestions for possible armies to recreate Abyssinian invasion of Southen Arabia in 522 CE?

Post by Temple »

I was reading Glubb's The Great Arab Conquests and came across this:
Abyssinia had long thrown envious eyes on Arabia. As early as the fourth century A.D., we hear of her trying to extend her influence there and main taining a fleet which attempted to control the Straits of Bab el Mandeb. Encouraged now by Byzantium, and assisted by 600 Byzantine vessels as transports, the Abyssinians invaded South Arabia in A.D. 522, dethroned Dhu Nuwas and established an Abyssinian governor in control.
I didn't see an Abbyssian army in the list. Which armies would folks suggest to recreate a possible battle from this campaign? Thanks!

There is an Axumite army list in TT Mod. This is precisely the army you require.
