Many thanks for your responses, gentlemen !
...indeed it does ! That is a marvellous find I had not seen before.
...I am with you there ! It is good to show the plain and poor as well as the elaborate and wealthy. So many follow the natural tendency toward 'the best' - so a group can end up with many chiefs, and no indians ! :? lol: (Baldrick is a dirt poor servant in the comedy Blackadder series on T.V.)
Thank you once again, gentlemen, for sharing your photos.

Quote:I don't like splendid or adorned weapons and armour at all. And I'm a poor peltast, not a wealthy one. Perhaps my archer will be a bit more wealthy, but I doubt it.

Quote:Why has Marco a spear/dory? There were depictions of Thracian peltasts with spears as weapons instead of javelins. So Marco is a close combat peltast at the moment.Yes, I was aware of that, just wondered if he were going to add javelins at some point ( many thracian peltasts carried both, and the Dii tribe were famed for their use of the machaira )
