Ya know, I have the book where the picture on the cover is taken from.

I have always wondered...Why the heck did Angus McBride paint the Phalangites like Hoplites?
I mean, come on...with a 20 foot sarissa there is no way someone would be able to hold an Argive shield. I had always heard that the phalangites used a smalled buckler strapped to their forearm of hung a shield from the neck. In a Peter Collony book, it depicted them not even using a shield (?).

Ack. For some reason that just really bugs me.

Well I hope the book is good. Thanks for the heads up.
-thanks for reading.

[b]Robert, Come oooooooonnn!!! :twisted:

May I quote?
Quote:Of course, if you think that's distracting, you should see the outfits everyone in this alternate past/future wears. The women seem to wear as little as possible... and the men even less. (You only think I'm joking.) Reign definitely isn't the kind of animé that's afraid of showing some skin. In fact, it goes well beyond that; this show doesn't seem afraid to depict overt sexuality of any stripe. (Which probably goes some ways towards explaining TOKYOPOP's rating label of 'Older Teen, Age 16+' on the DVD case.)

For an example of this, you need look no further than the first few minutes of the show, where we see the nude Olympias doing something very dodgy with a huge snake in the birthing pool just prior to Alexander's arrival. (Alexander himself feels he's overdressed if he goes out on the town in more than a codpiece and some body paint. Oh, alright... it's body 'armour', but seeing as it leaves most of his body uncovered, I don't see much point to it.) Here really is a series that revels in its own salacious nature. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing... but it is a bit giggle-worthy when you have a show that is taking itself so seriously plot-wise only to have practically every character - right up to the King - prancing about it next to nothing.

So, I'll repeat my stance: Aaaaaaarghhhhh Confusedhock:

Ladies and Gentlemen, I think that this thread is better placed on 'References and Reviews'.
Sorry for any possible inconvenience! :wink:
