Quote:That said, could the flat armor, if iron, be related to the banded armor seen on a figurine of a getic warrior (don't have a pic handy, but its in bienkowski)? its hard to judge size, though the connector between the shoulder pads helps. the bands appear to be, at most, six inches wide (quite possibly a good bit less, again, hard to say), and maybe closer to three or four. Six inches seems far too large for banded armor, but perhaps not.
What image would that be from Bienkowski? Do you know what number it was it was? Are you sure the figurine was Getic?

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
