Aitor, Robert,<br>
<br>
I know You are both experts in late Roman Military and Aitor, Your reaction may be nerved ("Oh no, the Deurne cavalryman attacks again!") because the theme has been discussed in detail already; I am relative new in this forum and can't remember or find an older topic about this theme.<br>
<br>
But I know about a book with the description how the helmet and other finds (spurs, shoes, textile structures, etc.) were discovered. If I am not too wrong, did they find a mass inside the helmet and in the place where one may assume the shoulder of a head over fallen rider, which was interpreted as soaped remnants of parts of a human body.<br>
<br>
It may be that you have - due to your special interest - newer research results, but after my level of knowledge was it a completely equipped rider who fell head over in the moorland and sank, and no votive offering.<br>
