Khairete,
I know the Drum of Chaeronea was mentioned in Valerio. M. Manfredi's books, it caught my imagination too :roll:
I also like the 'Drums of Gaugamela' from the film soundtrack...can see Alexander riding backwards and forwards....!
According to this site, the drum was possibly something like this, called a Tabla balady or Tupan [url:3pokxr8i]http://rhythmfusion.zoovy.com/product/A19L[/url]

Arthes

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
