Quote:Where and when does the fashion for inserting such garish, large stones on the helmet emerge? Does it start with romans or with other peoples? Yes, I have wondered about this too! It certainly "feels" oriental in origin with it`s lavishness of overall decorativeness but then again weren`t hunnic & gothic gear decorated with glass patterns inserted in golden artifacts?
