Battle of Arbela · 331 BC

Battle of Arbela, 331 BC — openingThirteen front Persian blocks, seven rear blocks and three groups of small chariot symbols face Alexander's staggered formations. Nine arrow tips retain the source's hollow thrusts, outlined converging paths and finer upward strokes; the lower reserve line advances diagonally. Plum is editorial, not a unit-allegiance key. Open and divided blocks retain the source distinctions; proportions are not troop counts. MazeusDariusBessus Chariots AlexanderCompanionsParmenioReserve line
