Shalmaneser II was an Assyrian king who once raised an army of a hundred twenty thousand men and charioteers for a mighty battle. The praefectus Thalius Maximus, a historian, once told Ian Chesterton that Shalmaneser II failed because this army was equipped with inadequate wicker shields. (PROSE: Byzantium!)
