Jubilee Parade - 2

The Great King's Celebratory Parade featured 780 infantry, 240 cavalry and 24 chariots.



Below: It only takes one idiot! A protestor gallops out in front of the Great King's chariot in order to raise awareness of Sassanid Hat Syndrome. Fortunately someone was hurt.





The Turquoise Immortals voted "Best Dressed Infantry" by readers of Persian GQ


Afterwards the troops returned to their barracks and The Great King feasted mightily on crisps and cider, while his second in command had a bonio and a bowl of water. Luckily no mosaics of this survive.

      But re-labelled "Compositebow" for the Achaemenid market.

    A vast and splendid array, Harry, worthy of Xerxes himself !

    The Greeks must be trembling at its approach, earth and water, anyone ?
