Salve,
Have you seen the new Osprey title on the battle of Actium 31 BC. I just started browsing though it and found a page depicting Mark Anthony 'success' in Parthia.
I find this page particular page very intriguing, both in artistic execution and choice of subject wich is the already mentioned Marcus Antonius disastrous campaign against Parthian kingdom.
The color images are more telling but for now I want to add this whole page, text and image. I find the image weak and poorly executed, along with the other illustrations painted in the book by the illustrator. But as a whole I am looking for a reason why the otherwise disastrous campaign is imagined here as some sort of success on the part of Marcus Antonius
Do you think this image and text reflects the character of the Marcus Antonius campaign in Parthia?
Does any of you, illustrious members, have more to say about this particular episode or the whole campaign... or this image etc. I can post the color images as well.. for more discussion
