The contribution shows the humiliated enemies being beaten, tortured, beheaded and killed, or captivated and deported as part of the booty. Whereas the vanquishers are often represented in a vertical position and holding a weapon, their defeated enemies are depicted lying or kneeling on the ground, enclosed in a net, or walking in procession with their hands tied up behind their backs and escorted by soldiers.

Abstract

The contribution shows the humiliated enemies being beaten, tortured, beheaded and killed, or captivated and deported as part of the booty. Whereas the vanquishers are often represented in a vertical position and holding a weapon, their defeated enemies are depicted lying or kneeling on the ground, enclosed in a net, or walking in procession with their hands tied up behind their backs and escorted by soldiers.
