Hey Rez. You have written several articles about the Achaemanid army. And I have noticed they are often hotly contested. Could you make one thread, which will be a compendium of references, sources, and evidence, both archaeological, and textual, as well as arguments based on inference supporting your roster of the Achaemanid army? I want to be able to see all of it for myself, since there is so much debate about the effectiveness of the Persian army and its composition and tactics. Please provide visual and / or textual evidence for each point possible. If it is too much work, then I won't pressure you. But I think its about time the debate be put in a format for quick reference and so accessible to the public. This being done, I think people are more likely to be convinced your analyses.
