Alexander at Arbela, Plain of Gaugamela, Iraq, 331BC by David Pentland. Flanked by his Companion heavy cavalry, Alexander, King of Macedon, led the charge which broke through the left wing of the Persian army, and forced Darius, the Great King, to flee the battlefield. Persian success against his own left wing forced him to delay his pursuit of the routed troops, but by the end of the day the battle was won, and the heart of the Persian empire lay at his feet. |
Kadesh (Egyptians v Hittites) by David Pentland. Rallying his men the young Pharoah Rameses II leads the Egyptian force in the decisive counter attack against the Hittite foes. |
Julius Caesar Crossing the Thames, Summer 54BC by David Pentland. After an unsuccessful attempt to invade Britain the previous year, Caesar returned in force. Included among his large ranks was one Indian elephant, a beast unknown to his enemy, and as it transpired a dramatic psychological weapon which succeeded in breaching the Britons defensive position on the River Thames. |
