Greetings!
I have a three-fold question about the "Optio"
1. How is it pronounced? Op tee' oh, Op she' oh, Op show... I am confused.
2. Does anyone have indepth information on this position during the 1st century or where I can
find it?
3. Pictures or drawings of helmets, reliefs, tombstones, with crests and feather placement.
How and where on the helmet was the feather/s fastened? Special Feather? And what type of
Helmet would it have been?
4. Also... I'll sneak this in, in the movie "THE EAGLE" it has the Centurion in a Muscle
Cuirass... I have not searched the threads yet, but is that accurate?
Thanks to all for your patience with me... I am certainly new to this and have been non-stop reading and studying for the past 6 months.
