Peltast Impression
#9
The "pilos" and the "attic" helmets are safer bets but I cannot rule out the "beotian" or even roman types by the time of Sulla.

Old Beotian families "Spartoi" are mentioned by Plutarch in 1st century A.D.

So asuming that the Beotian allied leader is a "Spartos" he might carry a "Beotian" helmet, red snake on a white thyreos and a spear point embroidered on his chiton at his right shoulder.

Tharcian boots or "beotian boots" (see Greek footware thread) are an option.

Hope I helped

Kind regards
