De bello civili by Lucanus describes the civil war between Caesar and Pompey. Niccolò da Bologna illustrated a copy in 1373. This shows the typical characteristics of the Bolognese school of manuscript illumination.

I have always loved the "contemporary" take on Ancient warfare. In fact one of my abandoned projects was to do a Trojan War game with fully plate armored knights.
Druzhina, aren't them some Medieval paintings in that theme? |
