Two Greek warriors in full armor fight with sword, spear and shield. Both have helmets and cuirasses (chest and back armor), while the one on the right also has greaves (shin guards). The herald stepping between the fighters separates them using his staff of office. He wears a broad-brimmed rustic sun hat called a "petasus". Note that all three of the men are barefoot.
