Quote:Quote:by the way, there is a very interesting achaemenid seal (shown in Forgotten Empire and also cited in Duncan Head's book) that shows a figth between a persian and a greek
Is there a context to the seal that makes you sure it a greek the persian faces?
Of course, we can't be sure that he is ethnicaly a greek, but he seems to wear greek fashion (crested attic? helmet, pteryges, and overall, the big aspis, also shown in other seals depictig greeks.)
