Did Roman cavalry wear face-masks in battle?
#75
The facemasks would obviously have protected the wearer. The ones on the Kops plateau were metallurgicaly examined I believe.
and were shown to be of armour quality construction. I seriously doubt they would beany more phased by someone throwing pucks at hem than a medieval knight. And I imagine it would earn you a place as their next target. Wink
