Greetings Aitor,
If something changed between the 5th and 6th centuries for example, somebody had to originally initiate that change.....it didn't just appear from thin air....(aside from certain supernatural happenings and the myths and legends that is)
Who is to say that a late Roman who liked the look of the Phrygian helm did not have a version made to his own design....just because that individual helm has not yet been found...does not mean it never existed...! :wink: :wink:
regards
Arthes
Quote:Excuse me but this could be just another case of one archaeologist (perhaps seeking to have some notoriety) lecturing from his armchair on 'Ancients dind't do this or didn't do that thing'That is true....'interpretations' sometimes annoy me, as they leave no room for individulity or a taste for the unusual...
(Because Ancients had sometimes the bad habit of doing this or doing that... :wink: )

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
