Did Roman cavalry wear face-masks in battle?
#48
There is one at least, which has damage to the face and eye, of a frenzied attack. The wearer probably was unhorsed before being subjected to this while laying on his back on the ground. Cannot for the life of me find the photo. The boffins must have hidden it from plebs like me! Wink
