Did Roman cavalry wear face-masks in battle?
#6
I think that I might be inclined to agree with Mike Bishop that there can be some limited vision when wearing these face masks, my view does come with a degree of experience in having made a few of these type of things over the years.
However there is one that I have made in fact the first I ever did that has a teardrop arrangement on the lower eyelids, and this I found an interesting feature not shown on any other masks which allows the wearer to glance down to look at the ground without having to bend their neck.
Here is another version of it I made in what I call my own creation where I put about four different helmets together into one, it is also shown worn by a rider when used in the small film depicting the Varus Battle.
