Roman helmet surface

[Fruitbat]

Hello Mathew,

You raise some very interesting points there, especially the one about Roman troops wanting to emulate the gods or heroes. I have actually seen for myself some individual modern troops trying to imitate Rambo or whoever, first hand! We used to call it 'being wary'. I don't suppose people change that much over time.

You say that you know of colour scenes of ancient warefare, are they Roman? I would appreciate it if you could point me to the relative books etc.
