Quote:MIchael, I certainly bow to your much superior knowledge on the individuals involved with Alexander's army…
Whoah there Fred! Waldemar Heckel and Brian Bosworth do not sit at this computer!!
Quote: […] I very much look forward to learning both basics and finer points from yourself and others here at RAT
And it’s a good thing there are plenty of “others” here!
Quote:Your doubts on Issus are also well taken. In fact, I've merely followed Nick Sekunda's opinion of the "Abdalonymus Sarchopagus" (The Persian Army 560-330 BC, p. 29-30) in my comments and cannot argue from personal analysis whether it is either another specific battle or more of a 'generic' representation of Alexander's exploits.
Mine either: I’ve not seen the sarcophagus in real life (more’s the pity). The best online photographic study is here.. Have you Heckel’s paper on the sarcophagus? If not PM me your email address and I’ll email it. Ditto Jacek Rzepka’s paper on Alexander’s army which, by your previous post, I assume you have?
