It would be amazing to see one of these ancient armies for even a moment. There is so much we don't know! But we know it would have been splendid.

Judging by the Alexander Sarcophagus, the Persian elite and their Macedonian successors could wear saffron and Tyrian purple on a hunt. Battle scenes from the same source seems to show linothoraxes dyed in the same colours.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
