Cyrus the Great on Horseback
A richly dressed rider points across a crowded landscape while armed attendants follow behind. The exact source caption identifies Cyrus the Great. Bennett places the illustration beside his account of the Persian capture of Babylon. The name comes from the printed caption rather than an identification guessed from the rider’s costume.
