Caesar and Pompey fighting the Gauls, 1473. Two opposing armies face each other. Rows of archers are in the front line, with the cavalry behind. The scene depicted is very neat and orderly, whereas in reality a medieval battle would have been a far more chaotic affair. From The Commentaries of Caesar, translated by Jan Du Quesne (Bellum Gallicum) (Les commentaires de Cesar).
