Roman Cavalry Officer, Punic Wars?
#9
:lol: A flood of posts made within a few hours time. Thanks guys. You've actually now confused me more than anything. hehe. I think I will give the Decurio thus (but I still have questions):

- Helmet: Boeotian and Attic types.
- Body Armour: Scale Mail and Muscled Cuirass variations. Should he have that "Hellenistic" sash that wraps around his belly?
- Pteruges: Leather and Linen variations.
- Boots: Leather boots that cover his calf somewhat.
- Shield: Round shield with spine. Not sure what design motifs I'll use.
- Cape?

- Horse: Simple saddle blanket (maybe a hint of some Hellenistic patterns along the edges), a tack with small bronze disks. Question: Would the horse wear any armour, like a chamfron or peytral?
