yes, I am well aware of the date exceeding this forums era, but I honestly didn't know where else to look. This forum has many intelligent and well informed people of whom I respect their input and opinions. As far as McBride, I know the picture of the Berkasovo helmet on an Irish warrior at the battle of clontarf. That always made me scratch my head and wonder what the hell was he thinking or did he have some reason to put it in there? I mean he should have been experienced enough in his work to know the difference between late roman military equipment and that of Irish warriors in the 11th century. However, I have seen these apron-like things in different depictions as well. I'm just wondering where it comes from.
