.....I don't think one anecdote from Pliny demonstrates this at all.
Earlier, the Sarmatians were referred to as 'subordinated', now they are 'co-ordinated'....which, as independent Allies you would expect, so I agree.

( who, btw., is not general accepted, is just a view of some scholars, i dont know why you keep say that is 100 % agree by all historians ? )

.....maybe not generally accepted in Romania, but elsewhere it is a general consensus, as I stated.....and I did not say "100%". If you read my posts here and elsewhere I am usually careful to emphasise 'probably' rather than 'definitely', 'most' rather than 'all'....

Yes, all peoples wear, at a moment, a cap, or a head cover ( as helmets, or something ), but that specifical kind of hat was weared just by dacian nobles, beeing present not just at Adamclisi, but on Traian Column and at dacian statues who can still be seen on Constantin the Great Arch of Triumph, or some today italian museums ( at Florence and even Vatican ). There is no doubt at all, who is the peoples represented wearing that kind of cap.

....except that the 'skullcap' worn by Bastarnae bears no resemblance to the 'Pannonian' type cap shown on Dacian Pileati ! They are not even the same kind of headwear ! This is simply illogical to make such an intangible point and claim that clearly depicted Bastarnae must be Dacians because of the fact that some of both wear headgear/caps, though of completely different types ! :roll:

you try somehow, but in a childish way, to denie that.

.....personal insults have no place here on RAT ! :evil: :twisted:
RAT is mercifully 'flame free'....let's keep it that way. D lol: . Well, the images on the site i present you show clearly falx warriors wearing the "phrygian" ( not "panonian", again, i dont know why you named like that, it looks like your knowledges is not that extended in this matter ? ) type of cap, who is specific to dacian "tarabostes" ( or "pileati" ), dacian nobles, the same represented in other monuments as well, and have nothing to do with bastarnae. About Plinius, it was not an anecdote, but a letter send to Traian, where he spoke about that Calinderos, arrested in Nicomedia, and who speake about him, and in wich circumstances he was at Pacorus, Calinderos beeing send as well to Traian. I consider that a source in the favour of what i said. Well, sometimes, i believe you have something against dacians, and try to diminsh their realizations or importance, i dont know why ? You critisize both romanian historiography ( even if is the one who deal it the most with dacians and they wars with romans ) and foreign historians who said anything related with the subject, but not acording with your views. I still wait to present just 3-4 errors from that book ( wich is not writed by comunists infested by Ceausescu, some 30 years ago ).
