Ultimate Aurelian Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) A picture i found online, labelled as ''Gallic warriors in the Alps''. Not sure how accurate it is, the winged helmet looks like something from a 19th century reconstruction.

A better version: It was drawn by Giuseppe Rava => https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100051111677742 Sadly this is one of his worst illustration. Probably due to a lack of advices and a lack of knowledge about the material. Yes the winged helmet is a weird interpretation from the early 19th century when people thought that the cheek-guards of helmets were metallic supports for decorative wings... that's why you can see it on some statues depicting Vercingetorix and Ambiorix. The bronze cuirass is also something from the Hallstatt C period (800–620 BC), totally anachronistic with the rest of the items. Giuseppe Rava made a better one recently, thanks to the advice of François Gilbert, a French reenactor: Edited November 17, 2022 by Genava55 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 I think I know where the reference to round sets came from in the Celts we had earlier in the game. Here they seem to carry a kind of Parma and also use Etrusco Corinthian Helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genava55 Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 (edited) Yes there are several illustrations by Angus McBride depicting the round shield but those are unreliable. Angus McBride was not the most clever, he was a talented illustrator but he had no issue copying 19th century depictions to base his research. Examples: His inspirations: Angus McBride produced a lot of BS and was a major source of disinformation due to is carelessness with his references. 19th century depictions are unreliable in this case.

Yes, there are images of late Germanic clothing.With late I mean late for Celtic people. Furthermore, the 19th century is characterized by romanticist movement that some derived into folkish movements.(if I'm not mistaken). Britannica: Romanticism Also known as: Romantic Style, Romantic movement. The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica Last Updated: Dec 26, 2023 • Article History Eugène Delacroix: Liberty Leading the People Liberty Leading the People, oil on canvas by Eugène Delacroix, 1830; in the Louvre, Paris.(more) Caspar David Friedrich: Man and Woman Gazing at the Moon Man and Woman Gazing at the Moon, oil on canvas by Caspar David Friedrich, c. 1824; in the collection of the Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.(more) Romanticism, attitude or intellectual orientation that characterized many works of literature, painting, music, architecture, criticism, and historiography in Western civilization over a period from the late 18th to the mid-19th century. Romanticism can be seen as a rejection of the precepts of order, calm, harmony, balance, idealization, and rationality that typified Classicism in general and late 18th-century Neoclassicism in particular. It was also to some extent a reaction against the Enlightenment and against 18th-century rationalism and physical materialism in general. Romanticism emphasized the individual, the subjective, the irrational, the imaginative, the personal, the spontaneous, the emotional, the visionary, and the transcendental.
