Conquest City States: Aristarch

Much of a City States bureaucratic apparatus is selected through a rigorous civil service exam, but the Aristarch is an exception. Handpicked from the pool of Aspirant Polemachoi by the ruling power of a City State; be it a Council, a Tyrant, or even a God, an Aristarchos embodies all of the virtues of a city State and is thus chosen to lead its forces on the campaign. Tested and trained to a standard even higher than that of the Polemarch, his studies focus instead on strategy, philosophy, politics, and economics, allowing him to serve the role of general, ambassador, or governor as needs dictate to further the power and glory of his City.
