Roman Cavalry Equipment

[D B Campbell]

... but it has a lot of black and white diagrams and illustrations of artefacts.

fig. 1. "Vachères warrior" (side view). The one in B&C2 is better.
fig. 2. "A Weiler-type helmet from Newstead". Seems to be redrawn from B&C2 fig. 60 (1).
fig. 3. "The late first- or early second-century AD Ely helmet". Seems to be redrawn from B&C2 fig. 60 (2).
fig. 4. "A second-century cavalry helmet, the original cheek-piece has been replaced". Credited as "After Robinson 1975".
fig. 5. "A third-century helmet from Heddernheim". Seems to be redrawn from B&C2 fig. 113 (1) (where it is mistakenly labelled "Friedberg"). Also appeared in Stephenson's Roman Infantry Equipment book (fig. 4).
fig. 6. "Mail or scale coifs from the Battle of Ebenezer fresco, Dura Europos." Credited as "After Kraeling 1956" (which is omitted from their bibliography). The one in B&C2 is better.
fig. 7. "A reconstruction of a Newstead type full-face helmet". The original is depicted in B&C2 fig. 60 (4). Which would you rather have -- reconstruction or original?!
fig. 8. "A drawing, based upon a helmet from Heddernheim, showing the hook and slot method attaching the face mask". Credited as "After Robinson 1975". The original (without Robinson's addition of a belt to secure the mask to the helmet) is depicted in B&C2 fig. 114 (4).
fig. 9. "A fourth-century 'Intercisa' type 'Ridge' helmet. This example is actually from Intercisa". Seems to be redrawn from B&C2 fig. 134 (2) -- but the B&C version is a lot clearer.
fig. 10. ...

Do you see a pattern emerging?!
