Ptolemaic armies vs. Roman Legions (circa 50 b.C.)
#27
Avete,

I've a new question about the Palestrina Mosaic. Can anyone identify the helmet types worn by the soldiers ?

I'm not very confident using terminology when it comes to Hellenistic helmets. But I'm guessing the central figures are wearing 'Thracian' style
helmets for the most part. The far left soldier wears a 'Phyrgian' helmet ? The far right, a 'Boeotian' ?

Does anyone agree or have differing views ?
