David Turner's DBM Moche list

300 BC to 700 AD

The Moche (or Mochica) were a culture who flourished on the north coast of Peru from around 300BC to 700 AD. They left a wealth of decorated pottery from which a great detail of their life (including warfare) can be derived. However they did not have writing, so much of their culture and history is hidden from us.

This is an army list for DBM. It was developed by David Turner and published in the Society of Ancients journal Slingshot, #217, September 2001 , Pages 24-26. I publish it here with the permision of Mr Turner.
