Quote:The conservative view.
Based on 19th century engravings of sarkofagoi and grave stele elite macedonian infantry bore blue helmets.
Yes there are freskoes showing red helmets but the red or amaranth colors are asociated with horsemen although this can be very subjective.
Kind regards
What sources are you referring to that show blue helmets?

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
