Explanation: The Parthian Shot was a term used to refer to the tendency of horse archers, particularly those in the nomadic tradition, such as the Parthians in Persia, to fire arrows as they retreat.

Top panel: Parthians display the Parthian Shot - note the woman firing backwards on horseback.

Bottom panel: A Parthian is loaded into a siege engine as ammunition. This is not quite the Parthian Shot normally meant.
