Peter,
Is there any possibility of getting a better (close-up) view of those darts at the dragon's neck? I cannot see the lead weights... :? Many thanks in advance! Aitor ![]()

Martin,
if you have somebody to assist you reading Greek I can sent you the text through e-mail else it has to wait translation. John, An image of a Norman serving in the "Latinikon" of the Komninoi is here: http://dbaol.com/armies/army_133_figure_1.htm . Most "latininkoi" are depicted by artists as wearing lamelar armor over chainmail. Kind regards

The problem is likely to be the full stop at the end of the link - try stripping it out.

Thanks for the offer Stefanos,
I'm afraid my Greek doesn't extend beyond 'o logariasmos sas parakalo.' I once shared a student house with a girl from Athens but don't have access to Greek translators at present. Martin.

Aitor,
The detail image is pretty lousy but I think you are right - no lead weights. Perhaps they are arrows or cross bow bolts?
Peter Raftos

Many thanks, Peter!
![]() Conversely, the problem about arrows or crossbow bolts is that they would need Akritas to hold a bow or crossbow on his hands... What is he holding on his left hand? :? Aitor
It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
