Slavete Omnes,
my good friend Patryk Skupniewicz made accessible his 2018 article on the shortfalls of iconography in reconstruction, in his article the reconstruction of swordsmanship of the ancient Persia.
In this context, especially in last decade we have seen many works produced and published by the largest western military history publisher - Osprey Military Publishing - where the issue of usage of ancient and medieval historic iconography as the source of scientific reconstruction has been controversial or even contested - see various forums like the Roman Army forum, or various medieval armor forums-groups on Facebook.
Anyway, enjoy this not short article by Patryk, with some illustrations to underline the argument.
by the way, on the academia platform there are multitudes of interesting
works on the Eurasian steppe nomads, especially lately many Hsiung-nu
related articles and longer works have appeared.
Valete
