The Ancients Photo Directory - helping you choose the best figures for your Ancients armies. Over 4,000 photos of 15mm ancients figures including painting by fantastic professional painters and photos from manufacturers websites. The directory is organised in the same way as the original set of FoG Army List Books (sorry, I can't now change it!), with listings for almost every army. You can also search the directory by manufacturer, army or keyword

Anyone can rate the figures just by clicking on the stars beneath each photo. Ratings use a scale of 0-5 where 5 = excellent and 0 = terrible.

Thematic Cavalry895 viewsThematic Cavalry from the website of expendableCinC. The Themes would have had a wide variety of troop armour and weaponry at this stage and so for variety these elements mix in troops that have little to do with byzantines.
The Sassanids, Sarmatians, Goths and heavy cav Huns are mostly from Strategia Nova
