Thanks dear friends!
@ Pavel I'm not a colourist! When I watch your work I understand that you are a painter and I'm not! ;-) , Anyway thanks for your suggestions!
@Robert, thank you and ... you are right, I'll remove the spear from the head!! :whistle:
The helmet of the guy is there to show what I think about the origin of the mysterious Frankish Carolingian helmets....a direct Romance origin from Late Roman models.
About the battle: Yes it's like a last stand, but why not? They maintained the ridge till Attila left the field so...again: Why not?
About the French cultural atmosphere, well it's a Romance enviroment with Visigoths, Franks, Alans, all speaking Voulgar Latin, all ready to become a single Romance community, after something like 20 years from the battle of Chalons they will be no more Romans but Frankish (or later: French), speaking a Voulgar latin called French...so some moustache is a nice idea IMO!
