I just 'cartoonized' another of my Gallic horsemen. Time frame is around the Wars of the Second Triumvirate ( 43 BC – 33 BC ), with the great battle of Philippi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Philippi as the largest land battle of the Second Triumvirate (eg the life of one of the principal actors -Brutus by Plutarch here Plutarch Brutus ). HBO series 'Rome' season 2 did attempt to show the battle, but it was not the greatest reconstruction I daresay.
Polish readers can find a nice book on the battle of Philippi authored by Maciej Milczanowski titled 'Filippi 23 X 42 p.n.e.' published bye Wydawnictwo Inforteditions from Zabrze in 2006.
English readers can read Osprey's book by Si Sheppard amply titled 'Philippi - 42 BC' osprey Philippi-42-BC
