Recreating a Greek Cavalryman

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

At least one boeotian helmet i know of has two holes in wither side that would most probably hold a strap,or even two,one for the chin and one for the back of the head as seen in other types of hats,like the petassos.

I also know of another one that in all the half rear edge has tiny dots that would be either gor a lining or even the addition of mail (?),and who know,they might ahve also served for a strap. It's interesting that that helmet doesn't have any holes in all the half front edge.
Another idea would be that the straps were added on the outer side of the helmet like they would have been in the actual felt cap,but i haven't seen anything like this in art.
In any case,one of the most detailed sculptures,the Alexander sarcophagus doesn't show any strapping in any of the two boeotian helmets depicted.
