Greetings everyone, I am looking for any websites who have good illustrations of Rome's enemies. This is an example of the quailty that I am looking for:<br>

So please if anyone knows of such sites please let me know. Thank you. <p></p><i></i>

Look in the Osprey books - that's where most of the illustrations on Slitherine's website come from anyway.<br>
<br>
The (only?) website with original illustrations that I know of, is www.redrampant.com. <p>Strategy <br>

This page has some illustrations of the Parthian army:<br>

<br>
The first picture is taken from John Warry's 'Warfare in the Classical World' (I don't know the illustrator's name for this book, but still rate these as the best reconstructions of Roman-era troops I've ever seen!). The other two pictures are plates from, I think, Osprey's 'Rome's Enemies: Parthians and Sassanid Persians'. <p></p><i></i>

Actually, the third illustration on that page is from David Nicolle's book "Sassanian Armies: The Iranian Empire, early 3rd to mid-7th centuries AD" (Montvert 1996). Besides the fact that the horse armor is incomplete, and the incorrect inclusion of sidearms (early cataphracts seem to have only been armed with spears), it's still one of the best representations of a Parthian cataphract I've ever seen.<br>
