Nubian mercenary in Ptolemaic army
#1
[Image: NubianWarrior.jpg]
This is figure 104 from Seleucid and Ptolemaic Reformed Armies Volume 2: The Ptolemaic Army by Nick Sekunda
The description of this sculpture is: Nubian cavalryman from fur Kunst und Gewerbe Hangburg( see Donald. M. Bailey, Minerva, May/June 95. Gaulish and Nubian Mercenaries in Ptolemaic Egypt p. 37)
This warrior seams herring a scale or mail armor or is it another type of armor(possible quilted)?.
It is possible that this warrior is herring a captured ,mail or scale, armor , or it is common practice. In this case does any native Ptolemaic troops should also hear it.

Does anyone has the May/June 95. number of Minerva periodical.
Could some one help me with more information on this sculpture?
Any information is highly appreciated.
