Quote:Not to dispute you entirely Dan, but if that was the case, why the adaptation of cross-bars?Has anyone demonstrated that the crossbars were added at the same time as the Dacian campaign? Finding a helmet that dates 50 years on either side of the campaign is harldy evidence of causation or even correlation. Is there a primary source that says the Romans reinforced their helmets because of the falx?
