Historian Herodotos lists provincial contingents throughout the empire of over two millionavailable for callout in the provinces of the empire.
For expeditionary forces, only the best cavalry and infantry were selected.
The invasion of Greece in 480 BCE probably amounted to three corps each of 10,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry - a total of 150,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry.
The fleet was probably 600 warships comprised of contingents supplied from Phoenician, Asian-Greek cities and Egypt, each ship with 200 rowers and marines aboard, and a similar number of cargo vessels to supply food for fleet and army. There would also have been a substantial number of camp followers.
