Avete omnes,
I'll try to follow Wikipedia's logic.
Personally, I just know about only one Roman helmet featuring mice decoration (The Ex-Axel Guttmann Collection AG 800).
All other helmets show a noticeable lack of mice.
Clear deduction: Roman military units must have been equipped with legions of cats... :roll:
BTW 'Turkish Van' - I googled. Did someone really expect that on a Roman scutum?
