Zvezda 8007 MACEDONIAN CAVALRY

"IV B.C.".
 Macedonian Cavalry, includes a figure of Alexander himself, advancing on his steed. We can tell that it is supposed to be Alexander as it is clearly based on the Alexander Mosaic found in Pompeii, as are most modern representations of him. In fact, as he was frequently in the thick of the fighting, he would normally have worn a boeotian helmet. from several branches of Alexander's cavalry, and there are problems with the accuracy of some of them. The most obvious problem is that Alexander's cavalry, Macedonian or Greek, did not carry shields, so three of these figures are therefore unusable as the shields are a part of the whole piece. Various details of many of the figures also seem inappropriate, often making them look more like Macedonian cavalry of two centuries later on, during the rise to power of Rome.
