Thracian mercenary equipment

[Iphicrates]

I would suggest reading my book "The Gods of Battle: The Thracians at War" to see some possible helmet designs. There's a full colour illustration in my Osprey book "The Thracians 700 BC-46 AD." and also in the Ancient Warfare article. Yes they probably used a thureos and a Thracian helmet plus greaves. They may have worn some sort of linen armour but there's a lot of argument about that. They are described as wearing black tunics.
