Canakkale Persian armour reconstruction

[Duncan Head]

Thanks for the rhyton image Duncan. I hadn`t seen it. Where can I find more photos?

Two different pictures at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... rebuni.JPG and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Achae ... blet01.jpg . Both of them are good enough resolution to show the eagle on the sides of the cap.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erebuni_Fortress is about the findspot and there is also a brief discussion of the Achaemenid presence at the site in an Iranica Antiqua article at http://acc.spc.uchicago.edu/atsmith/Ele ... 202006.pdf

Nice to see you posting again, Duncan - welcome back!

I only dropped in more or less by accident because I was searching for stuff on the sarcophagus after a discussion of it on the ancmed Yahoo group - sparked by Chris Webber's photos from the Canakkale museum at http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll17 ... 0Persians/
