    Hmm, there's a Roman officer and eagle standarts on the left and a Brythonic(?) chariot in the centre. Might be Watling Street where the Boudicca revolt was crushed by the Romans.

    Battle of Arausio?

    This seems like a final stand of sorts. The cavalry charging and the women behind the barricade of wagons slaying their children.
    I will guess this as one of the battles of the Cimbrian invasion. Since Kostas said Arausio I'll say Aquae Sextae.

    I recognise that picture but can't place it in my mind...

    I'm going to guess Manzikert, because it was the first battle to come to mind, be it right or wrong.

    No, it's not Manzikert.
