Hi everyone and welcome to another episode of ancient warfare answers.

I'll be your host today, Murray Darmes.

My name, I'm the assistant editor of Ancient Warfare magazine.

And as you can see, I am flying solo.

I'm going to answer one of our viewers' questions in just a moment. You too can ask us a question if you like,

of course. You just have to become a

patron of the podcast on

www.patryon.com

forward slash ancient warfare podcast.

I say that you have to. You don't. You can ask us a question

anyway. If you become a patron, though, it means you can get a copy of the magazine and you have a conduit of communication. Well, that sounds fancy. And there's three different levels of backer that you can become on Patreon. This is, of course, one of our short versions. This is 10 minutes of me or Yaspa ranting about some topic ancient warfare related,

hopefully answering one of your questions.

And then, of course, every month the full panel meets,

and we talk about either an issue of the magazine or another issue of ancient warfare related topic,

where all six of us get to chat about it.

But the question I'm going to ask, attempt to answer, and I've actually written some notes for

this one, so hopefully it goes to 10 minutes on looking at the timer, and I don't go over time.

Do the sources tell us anything about the Spartan warrior Aminastas, who threw the rock that killed Mardonius at the Battle of Plataea?

I am curious to know if he survived the battle and if he would have been honoured for his efforts in the victory.

Now, there's several awesome rabbit holes to go down here.

Hopefully I can go down them quickly.

So Amnestis or I'm Nestus.
