Did Roman cavalry wear face-masks in battle?

Dear Mike,

you wrote:

Okay, we're just going to have to agree to disagree, Christian :-)

Well, I´m fine with that, but I wonder why you were then asking about opinions about this in the first place.. ;-)

My training requires proof and I see it for sports use but don't see it for battle use.

Yes, as does mine, and that of many other historians and archaeologists.
I assume that this is not supposed to be an argument of some kind? You have put up some arguments above, but I think I have shown that none of them can come up to the level of "proof".

Good topic for discussion, though ;-)

Yes, I agree. Hence I think it would be great if you would reply to my arguments.
