Quote:The helmet of that heavy armoured Cataphracts is the "Persian" marathon helmet which should have been of Mesopotamian auxiliary’s.
It's actually the Achaemenid helmet found in Thebes, which is pointier that the Marathon example and which has holes in place for the method of attachment Gorelik has illustrated there.

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
