Soldiers, enthused by Alexander the Greats example, swarm up a ladder, used to attack the fortified city walls of the Mallians. The ladder breaks under their weight, leaving their leader open to attack on the ramparts, but instead of leaping back to safety, Alexander fights on, into the enemies midst: an example of his bravery, and rashness. Date: 326 BC

EDITORS COMMENTS
Alexander the Great and the Broken Ladder: A Testament to Courage and Rashness, 326 BC This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the history of ancient warfare, as Alexander the Great and his soldiers attempt to scale the fortified city walls of the Mallians. In their eagerness to follow their charismatic leader, the soldiers swarm up a single ladder, their determination outpacing their caution. However, the weight of the massed troops proves too much for the ladder, which cracks and collapses beneath them. Amidst the chaos, Alexander, undeterred by the unexpected turn of events, leaps from the ladder and charges into the enemy's midst. His soldiers, now stranded and vulnerable, watch in awe as their leader fights on, his bravery and rashness inspiring them to press forward. This scene, which unfolded in 326 BC, is a testament to the indomitable spirit of Alexander the Great and his troops. Despite the accident and the danger that it presented, Alexander's courageous example spurred his soldiers to continue their attack on the Mallian citadel. The broken ladder serves as a poignant reminder of the risks that soldiers took in ancient warfare, and the importance of leadership in inspiring men to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. The image, which dates back to 326 BC, is a powerful reminder of the heroism and determination that characterized ancient warfare. It invites us to reflect on the sacrifices that soldiers have made throughout history, and the enduring legacy of their courage and bravery.
