- Anything on the campaigns of Leuctra and 2nd Mantinea
Generally anything someone writing a book on Leuctra and Mantinea ought to know. :wink:

Probably not the calibre of source material you are looking for Phil, but there is a new Osprey title on Hellenic Cavelry? I did not get to reading it so possibly it has earlier
period of Greek cavelry too? I cannot recall the title, as it is at home.
It actually features a very nice Hellenistic cavalry stele from Thebes (at least it's housed in the Thebes Archaeological Museum) which I've not seen published elsewhere (p. 41), and from what I've read of it, it seems to be pretty good quality overall.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
