The Capture of Sardis by the Cimmerians (litho)

Image description: The Capture of Sardis by the Cimmerians. The city of Sardis, the capital of the kingdom of Lydia, lay on the stream Pactolus, in a fertile plain between Mount Tmolus and the River Hermus. In the reign of Ardys the city was captured by the barbarous Cimmerians, who had long troubled Asia Minor; but they were unable to storm the citadel, which was strongly fortified and built on an almost inaccessible rock. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920). Note: Image has been digitally enhanced to facilitate repro.
