Quote:Do you have pictures of these Ruben?
Thanks

The finds from Old Nisa I don't think I've ever found pictures of - I've only ever read descriptions of them. The Ai Khanoum finds can be seen in Nikonorov's Bactrian Armies book (Fig. 13). I can post an image of some of the Chirik Rabat armour, but I'll have to fish around to find it and post it later. It should be noted that while only information on portions of single panoplies from Ai Khanoum and Old Nisa have been published, both sites have apparently furnished at least two complete suits of armour, with the Ai Khanoum examples being fairly different from each other in form.

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
