Alexander Mosaic from Pompeii

[hoplite14gr]

I respect Crispus reservations, I too have many for various events.
The identification of Philip was aided by the Scotland Yard Labs.
The nature of the wound in the damaged eye agrees with what historians say about it.
There were later burrials arround the graves. Who was there was determined by the messy politics of the time. Please see my post on the Greek History forum. I partly agree with of your comments.

The Corinthian helmet depicted would most likely be a revered relic.
By that time even the Corinthian helmets had aquired ear openings.
Examples exist in Olympia and in Larissa.
The helmets of the time were not only the Pilos, Beotian and the Thracian but also Chalcidic and "later" Corinthian with ear openings.
I just consider it unlikely that cavalry would use the old version.
Kind regards
