Battle of Cunaxa Illustration

[Duncan Head]

Compare with the now lost stele of Lykian warrior from Konya below. He is also armed with sickle sword and double-headed spear.

I would recommend not putting too much reliance on details of this one. There was an article in Slingshot a few years ago from someone who's seen the original stele - which apparently isn't lost at all, but is in the sculpture-garden of Konya museum, IIRC - and several details of the 19th-century drawing Laran reproduces did not appear to be accurate, including the two-headed spear, the shield-blazon, and the construction of the armour.

(Of course it's possible that what's in Konya is another stele, same pose and merely very similar equipment, but it seems unlikely!)
