W'torfore was a spectacular, as ell
s a bloody enterprise, ! the days f
atlgulty. l'liil khaki and sliu-
pie businesslike iiecotitrcmcnls would
never huve suited the undent reralyii
soldiers.
Silver altars, surrounded by priests,
clmnlliig sacred souks', were Unit In
. line of march. Yljey jcru fullowed by
805 youths dressed In purple gnruicnla.
A cluriut dedicated tu the aun was
drawn by snow-white horses, led by
gruoms wearliiK wlfite giiriueiita mid
carrying golden wands.
Ten ehurloti embossed with cold
usil illver preceded tho enviilry of 12
nations, dressed In their various cos
taiBua and currying their peculiar
arias.
Then enme tho Persian Immortals,
nO.CKK) In iiuiiiIht, weurlng golden
cbnlna and robes embroidered with
gold and glittering Willi precious
stones. Kollowlng ut a abort distance
came lfj.000 nobles, relatives of the
king, dressed In giirmenta wonderfully
wrnugbt.
A company of spearmen preceded
the king. Me rnilo In an Imposing char
iot, and wore robes of surpassing nuig
nllieeneo, and a cosily miter on his
head. Ily his side walked -IX) of his
most noble kinsmen. Ten thousand
wurrlors, benrlng spears with staffs
of allver tipped by heads of gold, fol
lowed the royal chariot of Xerxes.
The king's horses, 40 In number, with
80,000 footmen, ended tho procession.
At sonic distance followed the moth
er and wife of the king In chariots, ac
companied by their ladles on horse
back. Fifteen cars carried the king's
children, their tutors and nurses, und
000 camels, guarded by archers, born
the royal treasury. Tho friends am)
relatives of the ladlca followed Willi
the cooka and servants, l.lght-nnned
troops brought up the rear.
When a king In thoso days looked
npon his troops and saw their strength
and splendor, It Is no wonder he felt
proud and wished to lead Ibem to bat
.tic, Burn an arfny was not meant to
stay at home, where only their coun
trymen could see them, oilier na- '
ttons would know how powerful a king
he was. So he nnd his followers
marched away, nod wars for conquest
began.
I'eoples were forced to give them
selves up to a life of war, cllhcr for
conquest or defense, nnd the great
highways, which peace would have ded
icated to commerce and prosperity, he
canio mllilary roads over which wnr
took Its crtiel way.
