Did Roman cavalry wear face-masks in battle?
#64
Alan.
I wonder just what the situation would be should such a goal keeper be hit in the face by the 2 1/2 inch puck coming at him at great speed.
This is very much like an earlier post where I mention a cavalryman being hit hard in the face mask in battle, for most of these things were indeed fitted to the helmet with a metal hinge therefore he may just have had to throw the whole helmet away then that becomes a very poor situation of protection.
