Did Roman cavalry wear face-masks in battle?
#58
If we go back to page two of this topic we find that Luka Borscak has shown a type of face mask that may well have been used with the Heddernheim, then there is also the mask used with the Pfrondorf or cavalry sports F.
Then Matin refers to Julian describing the cavalry of Constantius II but then goes on to add that this was at a parade, these masks are from helmets of later period such as those mentioned and can be removed from their helmets so were they in fact used with a parade then for battle removed to give better vision.
