Valid point!
Until I started to reserach the ROMANS, as a child I went to many EASTER re enactments, and I will always remember shaking as teh roman centurions eneterd the church and yes wearing crested helmets!
At least ROME depicted the transverse crested helmet which if I recall has neveer been done before?
You are right, the general publics image of a roman is the crested helmet...how correct this is, is another discussion.
Stirrups! dont even get me started... an ebayer is selling authentic Roman Stirrups used during Julius caesars rein....ooops reign!
Sent him a message to authenticise them..amazingly I cant find his site anymore!
