Salutations !
I Seem To Remember a post, recently, perhaps here, perhaps somewhere else on ye intertubes, report on painting up Alexandrian / Hellenistic Companions with white cloaks and ?
Remembered I have some Companions of me own, primed and waiting the brushs' caresses, thought I check that color scheme, sources thereof.
So if any of you gentlebeings could point me in the right direction, I'd be most grateful.
Best wishes for a Retroactive Happy Thanksgiving, and joyful celebrations of whatever winter holidays you celebrate, to all!

From Duncan Head’s Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars. Details for Companion cavalryman come from the Issos Mosaic, the Alexander Sarcophagus, the monument of Alketas and a late 4th century grave painting. Egyptian painting shows a white long-sleeved tunic and red-brown cloak. Issos Mosaic, a cavalryman behind Alexander wears a sandy-brown cloak. A white tunic with some sort of dull-brown cloak would seem to be their uniform. |

Turns out the figures remembered were pictured on MadAxeman.com
Didn't say where he referenced the color scheme...
