Physical Description
Extent: 6 x 10 cm (2 1/4 x 4 in.)
Description
This picture is labeled “Assyrian phalanx”, but is actually part of a scene showing the siege of a fortified city. The soldiers on the left are advancing to the foot of the walls under cover of their shields (note the arrows from the city’s defenders), while the archer on the right shoots from behind a wicker barrier called a pavise or mantlet. The spearman behind the archer moved the barrier as needed and defended the bowman if he were attacked.
