Face mask or face guard in late roman period
#36
Quote:That's the chicken and the egg, because now you seem to be saying that face masks were present but Ammianus 'just so happened' not to be describing armour that day.
What's wrong with that? You're not seriously suggesting that, every time he mentions Roman heavy cavalry, Ammianus has to give us an itemised inventory of their equipment, are you?
Michael King Macdona

And do as adversaries do in law, -
Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
