Oh no, the Deurne cavalryman attacks again!<br>
(Please, don't take this too seriously, it's been only an involuntary nervous reaction, sorry! )<br>
As part of a votive offering at a bog near Deurne (Netherlands), there is a beautiful late cavalry helmet with the inscription: STABLESIA-VI-<br>
It is unclear if the votive offering was made by a retired German officer in Roman service while returning home or if it is just war booty offered to the gods by Germans. In any case, there was no drowned horseman at all!<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
