Battle of Cunaxa 401 B.C. Xenophons War Set 2 - Greek Hoplites on the march (48 figures in 12 poses)

Opis

The second set from the series "Battle of Cunaxa 401 B.

C." The set consists of marching Greek hoplites "Spartans and allies" who are making their way back home after winning the battle (Train of Ten Thousand). The Battle of Kunaxa was fought in 401 BC just above Babylon on the Euphrates between the armies of King Artaxerxes II and his brother Cyrus for control of the Persian Empire. In the autumn of 401 BC, Cyrus clashed with his brother's army at Kunaxa. The Persian forces were defeated. But despite his military superiority, Cyrus himself fell in battle and his officer corps was killed in an ambush, leaving Artaxerxes in power. Under the leadership of the Athenian Xenophon, the army fought its way through the entire Persian Empire and reached the southern coast of the Black Sea, which was occupied by Greek cities. This miraculous rescue of the Greek mercenaries went down in history through Xenophon as the March of the Ten Thousand.
