Peltasts and chariots at Cunaxa
#6
Quote:The first chapter. It is just a brief outline, not a detailed analysis, since the book was supposed to concentrate on Bronze Age warfare but it might give you a starting point.
Ok, I remember. I will have a look. And Lendle must say something if I look again ...

I think that what happened at Cunaxa is very hard to figure out (especially since Xenophon, the "primary source," keeps using phrases like "they say that" and "it is said that" and had very good reason to emphasize Artaxerxean cowardice) but it is hard to ignore the battle completely.
Nullis in verba

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.
