Peter,
Is there any possibility of getting a better (close-up) view of those darts at the dragon's neck? I cannot see the lead weights... :? Many thanks in advance! Aitor
It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.

I can't make out any detail on them. Care to enlighten me?

Martin,
if you have somebody to assist you reading Greek I can sent you the text through e-mail else it has to wait translation. John, An image of a Norman serving in the "Latinikon" of the Komninoi is here: http://dbaol.com/armies/army_133_figure_1.htm . Most "latininkoi" are depicted by artists as wearing lamelar armor over chainmail. Kind regards

The problem is likely to be the full stop at the end of the link - try stripping it out.

Thanks for the offer Stefanos,
I'm afraid my Greek doesn't extend beyond 'o logariasmos sas parakalo.' I once shared a student house with a girl from Athens but don't have access to Greek translators at present. Martin.

Aitor,
The detail image is pretty lousy but I think you are right - no lead weights. Perhaps they are arrows or cross bow bolts?
Peter Raftos

Many thanks, Peter!
Conversely, the problem about arrows or crossbow bolts is that they would need Akritas to hold a bow or crossbow on his hands... What is he holding on his left hand? :? Aitor
It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
