Persian Infantry Officer with Standard

 

This is the Persian Infantry Officer with Standard that first appeared in the Miniature Figurines 72/73 catalogue as PB 18s and subsequently in the 75 catalogue as PB 18. 

Both PB ranges were based on Phil Barker's books Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars and Armies and Enemies of Imperial Rome. This figure is taken from illustration 18 in AMPW. 

The 's' designation refers to the 'redesigned' 25mm size range, which was gradually replacing the previous and smaller 1/72nd ranges at this time. The 's' designation was dropped once the transition was complete.
