Kopia (lance) - the basic military formation in medieval Poland, identical to the lance-unit employed elsewhere in Western Europe.
A Kopia was composed of a knight and his retinue (of 3-12 soldiers). On campaign, several kopias were combined to form a larger unit, the chorągiew.
From the 15th century the term kopia was replaced by Poczet.
