societys which supplied rome with archers
#13
Owe, the image is from my friend Nikos Panos for a book about Casar in Gaul. It represents a Cretan of the Elite 10th Legion. We assumed that this archer contignent was better equiped than the others.
Ceasar gives descrption of them fighting against the Ariovist´s Germans and in Alesia hand to hand.

The labyrinth would be used for a unit raised in Knossos and Festos and the wild mountain goat for a unit raised in Eleytherna or Lyktos.
Can you please give me the reference of the "goat medallion"?

I belive that your interpretation with a rectangular breast plate with leather straps in "Etruskan style" is more correct for the majority of the units.

Hope I helped
