newly discovered Hellenistic (?) mail
#18
Fig 68 in Bienkowski. I don't have the text handy, so I can't verify that he's supposed to be Getic. Apparent noble with short sword on left hip (scabbard looks comparable to some types used with akinakes and xiphos more than anything else), pileus, some sort of banded armor, cloak, a distorted shoe/boot of some sort, and a thick beard. I took a note "probably Getic" but I'm not sure if that was from Bienkowski, or if B. just described the figure as barbarian. Its worth noting that he doesn't seem to wear pants.
