Late Roman Attic helmets

[Flavivs Aetivs]

Pavel, com'on! They aren't stylized Niederbiber! You konw that they aren't sylized Niederbiber because you know what it means to hold a pencil in your hand!

Pavel the very nice small paintings clearly show ridge helmets with a metal edge folded outwards who states the contrary not only lies but he is deceiving himself and the others.

Those who say that these beautiful helmets are stylized Niederbiber are like the priests who refused to look in the Galilei's telescope! :grin:

This sort of Stalinism is killing History! Too much beaurocracy, too much orthodoxy, too much clergy and too few free minds and too few serious historians ready to accept the reality whatever his name!

Look Pavel, I'm making a nice Attic surprise mainly dedicated to Magister Militum Flavius Aetius, (I like very much Magister, his head is in some way like my head, both our heads are made of stone of the most hard quality: Pure Granite! :whistle

Now Pavel my dear friend, this is a study for the new soldier I'm making.....who is this man? A Carolingian Knight? A late Roman? A romance soldier? A Roman soldier of the III century?....One thing for sure he's wearing what the Anglosaxon historians call Ridge Helmet...but.....





I'll give you also the iconogrephic and archeological sources from which I'm making my sketch....it's pretty surprising....

It's 15th/16th century Swiss Guard, by the look.

Well, I have an excuse for my stubbornness

I can be flexible, but only with hard evidence prevented before me. Same reason I'm agnostic; I only accept facts or theories that can be backed by evidence or be derived from existing facts.

It's also the reason I don't accept string theory, in fact why I don't like much modern science, because it's no longer open to debate. If you think otherwise, you're thought to be crazy. Sort of what Muhammed said about "The Majority is always sane."
