Did the Greeks ever adopt foreign equipment ..
#74
If the aspis is attributed to the carians I do recall them being responsible for the horsehair crest. I do recall horsehair crests being a regular feature in Homer and also frequently depicted on Assyrian reliefs and possibly (interpretively) part of the Seapeoples helmets and so a hullava lot earlier than even the Archaic period in Hellas.

regards
Richard
