I've been combing the net in a determined effort to find some information what types of battlements and towers the City of Dara 530AD would have been surrounded by with a view to making or getting a model for the display game of the Battle of Dara we have planned for later this year.
So far I have been unable to find any images of what the battlements might have looked like so I thought I would put up a post asking if anyone if they have any ideas on how they would look? Square towers or round? Western European (Late Roman) battlements or more a more Eastern influence?
The Ruins of Dara
As I'm sure you can appreciate, it is hard to discern exactly what the battlements and towers of Dara might have looked like from the ruins that sit in place today.
Good luck with your project. Hope to see it live very soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bartek. It's still a it of a conundrum but someone on LAF provided me with some very useful diagrams.
