Ah damn, another later depiction of an ancient battle... even though the landscape looks different, I'll atribute that to the medieval(?) artist and guess Carrhae because of the horse archer in the background.

"Pompeius, after having finished the war against Mithridates, when he went to call at the house of Poseidonios, the famous teacher of philosophy, forbade the lictor to knock at the door, as was the usual custom, and he, to whom both the eastern and the western world had yielded submission, ordered the fasces to be lowered before the door of science."

Re: Name that Battle!
You are in the right period. And yes if you count the eastern roman empire as the byzantine empire then you can call them byzantine. But they are not fighting hunnic nor persians.Originally Posted by necronox

Re: Name that Battle!
They seem to be a Germanic tribe or two. Perhaps the sack of Rome in 546 A.D., where the Byzantine Garrison was captured by the Ostrogoths?

Attila sacking Aquileia?
... or Adrianople?
... or even Taginae? with the Byz eunuch defeating the glorious Ostrogoths?
Anyway guys, may I state that bigger pictures would be a nice choice? These small pics are a true torturing device!

It is indeed the battle of Hadrianopolis (378 ad). Where the Goth smashed the Romans and often described as the first of many major event leading to the final collapse of the Western Roman Empire.Attila sacking Aquileia?
... or Adrianople?
... or even Taginae? with the Byz eunuch defeating the glorious Ostrogoths?

For the small picture, i'm sorry but I prefer to take smaller pictures that can't be google searched. I find it more fun.

Re: Name that Battle!
Well technically it is Mount Legino but it is still part of the Battle of Montenotte.
I think SoHungover should get the credit.

Re: Name that Battle!
I disagree because the episode is the battle of Mount Legino and being easy it needed to be precise. So, now it's your turn Lord Oda.

Re: Name that Battle!
Was at work, apologies for the late reply. As for Napoleon, hate is such a strong word. I dislike him as much as the next self-serving Englishman, but I still greatly admire his generalship. He was a man out of his time.
Anyway, next:

This is either Alexandria or Cairo, but I'm not sure. It is definitely fighting in the Mosque.
