Hi all,
#1 - My impression of a Cretan Archer from the "Chaironides Stele" (3rd century BC - Volos Museum, Greece) : "kausia" headgear and little round shield (Poseidon "episema").
#2 - My impression of an hellenistic archer (Syracuse - 2nd Punic War) in service of the Roman Republican Army : Boeotian-attic helmet and little round bronze shield (Hiero II of Syracuse "episema").
The pictures (by Francois Gilbert) was taken at the "Journees Gallo-Romaines", Saint Romain en Gal, France, 2011.
arrivederci,
Emilio
