| 1628034687145857024 | @JTatLife @askhistorians The numbers we get for Persian and Carthaginian armies in Greek sources are more to do with authenticity than accuracy (i.e. authors were concerned that they should "sound about right"). But within the Greek world the numbers we get are rarely incredible and usually trusted. | 0 |
