Nephele Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 JPV do you do professional book-illustrating? I'm always knocked out by your artwork. -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecimusCaesar Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 A great picture JP! I have never seen an illustration of a Ptolemaic infantryman before, so this was a pleasent surprise. Congratulations on getting your artwork posted on 'The ancient Warfare Magazine'. I saw some of it posted on their website. Keep up the goodwork!

ASCLEPIADES Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Salve, JP! I have a dumb question for you. How much different would this Phalangist be from his Seleucid or Macedonian contemporary counterparts? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Vieira Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hello Again many thanks to all for your support. To answer your question, Asclepiades, there would not be enormous difference between phalangists of the sucessors states; ezch army incorporated Macedonian traditions and local (previous kingdoms) in the army composition and equipment. For instance, Seleuces army army used indian elephants ad Ptolomeus army used North African elephants. There are other differences, but betweeen the Phalangistes the difference would not be great.
