Typology of helmets... CAV sports / higher officers...

[Anonymous]

<br>
Dear all...<br>
<br>
I would like to start up a new discussion on the typology of helmets, and especially the distinction between the<br>
"Cavalry sports" helmet opposed by the idea that a lot of those so-called cavalry helmets could well, in fact be Higher officer's helmets.......<br>
Legatvs legionis ...ETCETERA...<br>
<br>
if you adhere to the fact that the AvXILIA and ALAE often consisted of allies of Rome, Germanic tribesmen or whoever... wouldnt they have worn a helmet which was less hellenistic..?? maybe even more towards their own tribal art and culture??<br>
<br>
of course i am not at all saying that the Typology used since our GURU mr Robinson came up with it is totally wrong....<br>
<br>
i just would like to open a debate on this.....<br>
<br>
Best wishes and<br>
