Dust and Bone by Ivan Berryman. Spartan Warriors, hailing from ancient Greece, epitomized military excellence. Rigorously trained from youth they became a formidable force embodying courage, discipline and unwavering loyalty to the state. |
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. |
Alexander the Greats Victory at Hydaspes River by Brian Palmer. Alexander the Greats Victory at Hydaspes River During the Macedonian conquests in 326BC at the tributary at Hydaspes (now Jhelem) of the Indus River, King Porus and his Indian army blocked Alexander the Greats advance with some 50,000 troops leaving 40,000, the bulk of his army, on the west bank of the river. Alexander the Great crossed the Indus river using makeshift pontoons with 14,000 picked cavalry and infantry. The following day he attacked the flank of King Porus position, after 8 hours of hard fighting, Alexander the Greats army routed the Indians, taking 9,000 prisoner including King Porus and killing 12,000. The Macedonian army lost 980 men and this was the last battle of the Asian conquest as Alexanders army rebelled and refused to go further. |
The Christian Martyrs Last Prayer by Jean Leon Jerome Christian men and women await their violent end to the teeth of wild beasts, much to the enjoyment of the crowded amphitheatre. |
Battle of Zama by Brian Palmer. Hannibal had invaded Italy by taking his army including war elephants across the mountains and into northern Italy. He defeated the Romans in three major battles including Cannae, but he did not take Rome when he had the chance. Once Rome had strengthened its forces, the Romans invaded Carthage. The second Punic War between Rome and Carthage was brought to a conclusion on the plains of Zama (modern Tunisia) with the Romans inflicting a crushing defeat on the army of Hannibal. |
The Spartan Lochagos (Captain) in the Acropolis by Ivan Berryman. The Acropolis of Ancient Sparta was a strategic hilltop location that housed several important buildings including the sanctuary of Athena Chalkioikos, the Theatre of Sparta, and various stoas and administrative buildings. The Acropolis served as a central hub for public life and religious rituals, reflecting Sparta's military ethos. |
The Last Stand by Ivan Berryman. The Romans used war elephants mainly after encountering them in battles against Pyrrhus of Epirus and Carthage. Initially, they struggled but adapted their tactics over time. Elephants were used in various campaigns, notably in Greece and during the Punie Wars. By the time of Emperor Claudius, their use declined serving more for psychological impact and ceremonial purposes. The last significant use of war elephants by the Romans was at the Battle of Thapsus in 46 BC. |
Prelude to Thermopylae by Ivan Berryman. In 480 BC the Spartans tried to defend the pass at Thermopylae against the Persians led by Xerxes. The Persian fleet had sailed along the coastline from northern Greece into the Gulf of Malia on the eastern Aegean Sea towards the mountains at Thermopylae. The Greek General and King Leonidas led the Greeks and tried to defend the pass of Thermopylae. All the defending Spartans were killed during the Battle of Thermopylae. Their defence and courage provided inspiration to the Greeks, and the following year the Greeks won battles against their old enemy the Persians. |

Alexander marched to Tyre, then to eastwood to cross the Euphrates and the River Tigris.

Alexander refused and a moth later the battle took place. Alexander was outnumbered 4 to 1 but he noticed a weak spot in the Persian line. He led the charge which was a great success and Darius fled the field. Seeing this panic spread through the Persian forces, Dariuss army crumbled. Later Darius was murdered by Persian nobles. |
