Quote:I did not notice anyone else mention a book called "Shadows in the Desert: Persia at War" or some such. Written by the same man who authored the "Sassanian Elite Cavalryman" title. It has many pictures of relief sculpture and the like.
It's by Kaveh Farrokh. It also has some of the drawings 'perrygray'
mentioned from the 'parade marking an important anniversary of Iran which included soldiers dressed in ancient garb. There were several units attired as Sassanian troops'.
Good Luck
