yeah, definately get that one, it's "Warriors of Eurasia (from the VIII century BC to the XVII century AD)" from Montvert Publications ISBN 1-874101-07-8. it's over ten years old and long out of print, alas Montvert apparently went bankrupt but the few books they published are awesome, unfortunately i wasn't able to get all of them but at last i have that one... |

unfortunately i have no idea what those warriors are, i found the pic on the web. but given their appearance, i assume they are either Saka or Kushans perhaps. i have found a similar picture on a Russian website about the Makedonian & Perisan army in Alexanders time. on the pic you can see a Thracian cavalryman of Alexanders army charging two soldiers of Dariush' army.  the pick as a weapon was popular amongst Sakas as well as Bactrians. the infantryman also has a Persian shield and a Persian dagger, so i assume those warriors are most likely Sakas from Transoxania/Kwarazm, possibly also Yüezhi/Tokharians... |
