Battle of Issus
What is this rubbish 100,000 strength with 110,000 casualties? Modern consensus is 10,000-30,000 for the persian casualties.

Battle of Plataea
Its most prudent to leave the casualty at 43,000 survival as that figure is more agreed to by ancient and modern writers. The kill count is heavily disputed from 10k min. to 200k max

Battle of Thermopylae
I think we have a misunderstanding. Modern consensus ranges from 150-250,000 as said in article. Herodotus claimed far more: 2.6 million and doubled for support, Ctesias in Persica claimed 800,000!

Battle of Thermopylae
C'mon guys, let's leave Ctesias out of the box, we already have him in the content and modern consensus is already in the warbox. Besides Ctesias never said 75,000 he claimed an impossible 800,000!
