Notes

This image is taken from a deliberately low angle to show how the scenes are arranged in the knowledge that they would (usually) have been viewed from below. In general the key events take place on the lower register, in the foreground, while supporting events take place above and behind. In this example, soldiers marching are shown at the bottom, their baggage chain behind.
