Quote:Stefane,the fresco with the red-black helmet has also a hoplite or pelte shield between the two helmets and swords.Also the Sidon sarcophagus has a painted red helmet that most probably belonged to the unhelmeted foot soldier nearby.
And on the Aghios Athanasios two infantrymen wear purple and red helmets, so it seems that painted helmets were quite common right from Alexander's day down into the second century BC.

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
