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?Eyes haven't always been stones, and go way back, including earlier Roman Italic and Gallic helmets with eyes (embossed and rivets). Insetting stones is probably just a later fashion.
