Quote:Do you know of a source that describes the Iazyges helmet? I'm particularly interested in them for the simple reason they settled in the area of the Banat/Backa region. My mother's side of the family comes from there. Today it's called Vojvodina in the former Yugoslavia. I strongly doubt there's any Iaz bloodlines of course but it would be fascinating if it were soWink

George,

Sorry, but I don't, at least published in English. Maybe you have access to Hungarian archaeological articles. If any Iazyge helmets survived, they would have been in the ground.

To bachmat66,

Not sure what you're getting at by claiming I was "repeating old lore." Most of what has been revised is actually "new." Recent studies (post 1980)show there was a difference in the two cultures, Scythian-Sauromatae (western) and Saka-Massagetae-Alani (eastern). The eastern culture had slightly different art-forms, weapons, and a significant percentage of Asian physical admixture, about 30% in females. The cultural "break" line, when the tribes reached the Danubian border, was between the Iaz and related tribes, and the Roxolani ("Shining Alans) and related major Alannic group. :-)

Nothing "old" here. It's just a physical fact.
