Battle of Cunaxa Illustration

This is nice.With some ammount of speculation it is true,but you have justified your opinions.However isn't it strange that Herodotos and/or Xenophon have not described such impressive and extraordinary equipment?
Also,I understand that your intention was to show as much of his armor as possible,but at that particular day of 479 bc Masistios's golden cuirass was covered by his "phinikis"(red/crimson/purple) tunic.I see you know that but you prefered the purple cloak as shown on the Alexander sarcophagus.
By the way,wellcome to the forum,nice we have one more "Persian" here,as implied by your name.
I suppose sooner or later the moderators will ask you to write your real name in your signature...
