A cropped fourteenth-century miniature Greek manuscript depicting scenes from the life of Alexander the Great. In this illustration the infantry of Alexander the Great invades Athens. The battle is taking place and the soldiers of the enemy fall of the wall. The horses of Alexander and one of his adjutants are represented as a Cataphract (Armored cavalry).
