Mr. Secunda fevors a very strict conservative approach.
There is ageneral tendency with non academic people to disagree with academics. Experiments some time favor non academic line of thought sometimes prove academics true.
Usually I disagree with the notion that ancients were not observant or that they lacked common sense.
"Gods in color" project of the German museums showed some painted saddle cloths not visible on whit marble.
Most visual reperesntations show also shieldless cavalry while this seems not to be the case.
Kind regards
