Did Roman cavalry wear face-masks in battle?
#11
Cesar.
I do indeed but must say that this was in fact the earliest attempt I ever did at a cavalry sports, I was not over impressed with it at that time and gave it to a young friend in Rome.
It is as I have mentioned the only one that appears to have this system of teardrops on the lower eyelids which do indeed function well for downwards vision.
This is what I introduced into the more decorative one that I call my own model that is made up from a Straubing type bowl, Emesa eyelids as also part of the neck guard decor', from Emesa, then the hair piece from another Syrian one from Aintum, and then I put on a laurel decoration over the front of the bowl and enjoyed making this and it has been in short TV films a few times.
