Did Roman cavalry wear face-masks in battle?
#80
Sorry to revive this old thread but I found it quite interesting to read and I'm sorry I didn't see it while it was "fresh".

Nobody it seems has brought up the point of how intimidating a shiny face mask would appear in battle. I know when I do museum presentations many people get an eerie feeling looking at the helmet with mask attached. I'm sure it would have a very similar effect in battle.
