Patreon request: Battle of Jaxartes
Added 2024-03-02 01:35:44 +0000 UTCThis artwork was requested by Nathan! Thank you to Nathan for patiently waiting for it to be completed. Nathan and Nadeem also gave me very valuable advice. I offer my thanks to them as well.
Alexander's armor remains almost exactly as described by Plutarch and in the Alexander mosaic. Saka's cavalry is cataphracts.
I like this artwork very much! Thanks for the request. It has become my signature drawing.
Alexander had severe diarrhea after drinking dirty water after the Battle of Jaxartes. Poor guy😢
Be that as it may, Battle of Jaxartes is very interesting, and I recommend reading it as Arrian's account is the most detailed (Curtius did not write about diarrhea lol) I wanted to post a link to Perseus, but it was only in Classical Greek😔
Thank you for looking at my drawing!
