Time flies like an arrow

We'll leave the fruit flies alone for today though. Hard to believ December has 1/2 slipped away without a post but still too much interference to have much to say. Hopefully soom I'll have time to talk about camels and Persian infantry, meanwhile Rob from Garrison has graciously scanned in the following illustrations of Phrygian weapons and armour for me. They are from the "1812 edition of Hope's Costume of the Ancients".
