so something considered ''authentic;; to you guys is something that you have archeological evidence of?
this is not a good way to approach it
maybe those helmets are accurate, and you just dont know it

i hate when people say something is not authentic because of one tiny detail, absurd!

Francis, perhaps you should start looking at some of the websites with actual historical or accurate reproductions on it, instead of criticising that which you know little about. And many here have posted links to such sites.

A good place to start is here:

http://www.larp.com/legioxx/helmets.html

It's easy to read, has great examples of helmets and explains how they were built.

You're questions yet again are based entirely on a complete lack of knowledge. Because you ask, and ask and ask, you aren't doing any of the research on your own. Thus, you are retaining absolutely nothing. Even when we tell you something, it would appear that now you are disregarding it.

Instead of wasting our time and yours here on RAT when you have your precious minutes of internet time, perhaps you should make a list of the sites people have recommended you check out, and start going through them. After you've done that (It should take you a few months at your rate of internet availability), THEN come back here and ask us intelligent, well thought out questions.

This is just getting rediculous. To base an entire line of reasoning on a Hollywood production is folly. And that my friend, is what you are basing your perceptions of Rome on.

Would you watch a movie like Taladega Nights and think that is what real race car drivers are like? C'mon. Time to start taking responsibility for your learning practices.
