Quote:Or are you suggesting Trajans Column is incorrect?I for one would not be the first to believe that the representations of soldiers on the column are stylised and created by people who had little or no access to, or no experinece of, the real thing. A far more accurate contemporary depiction of soldiers during the Dacian campaign can be seen on the Adamklissi monument, and there is a large difference to those portrayed on the column. Furthermore, the AM also tallies with actual artefacts that have been found.
The Toledo Museum silver Roman helmet is used as an example in support of the TC helmets, but that helmet is a fake. Compare the TC helmets to the ones on the AM:
