Title
Nubah movements of the Sennaar infantry
Short description
Giovanni Battista Brocchi describes the Nubah who made up the infantry of Sennaar.
Text on source
I Nubah, quando accompagnavano il Re, precedevano il cavallo, facendo vari movimenti che si possono assomigliare alla danza de' Coribanti. Saltellavano, alzando ora una, ora l'altra gamba, brandendo la lancia, battendola sullo scudo, e mettendo un ginocchio a terra facevano vari gesti militari accompagnati da certi loro gridi.
