Face mask or face guard in late roman period
#40
Quote:Worth quoting the para in full

Just to clarify the context, the 'victory' is the battle of Mursa (351), the 'miserable old man' is Licinius, and 'tyranny' is that of Magnentius.


Quote:With two descriptions from separate commentators, and depictions (albeit copies) on monuments, I think there is fairly strong evidence that facemasks were worn by some cavalry in the fourth century.

Yep, I'd say 'fairly strong evidence' about covers it! Confusedmile:
