Genava55 Posted August 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Just found sketches of older helmets found in the 19th c., like most things in Britain those are gone: on-ancient-bronze-helmets-found-in-1818-at-ogmore-down-glamorgan-1872.pdf Edited August 19, 2020 by Genava55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genava55 Posted August 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) illustration of a warrior with a shield based on the Salisbury hoard, a sword based on the hilt from Hod Hill and on the scabbard from Isleham and finally the shield from Leicestershire on the side. Note that the warrior is also carrying a javelin with a bonehead. Â Finally, this artist is producing a lot of fantasy material but I like the bodypainting of the warrior: https://www.deviantart.com/dewitteillustration/art/Warhammer-Albion-Brightwoad-Bearer-794994101 Edited August 23, 2020 by Genava55 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although on the left one I see a kind of collar looking like a "torc" texture. Is it intended? 6 hours ago, wowgetoffyourcellphone said: This makes me realize we need more styles of capes.

Genava55 Posted July 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2023   Just now, Genava55 said: Cassius Dio, Roman History, Book 5, Chapter 62: "All this I [Boudicca] say, not with the purpose of inspiring you with a hatred of present conditions, — that hatred you already have, — nor with fear for the future, — that fear you already have, — but of commending you because you now of our own accord choose the requisite course of action, and of thanking you for so readily co-operating with me and with each other. 2 Have no fear whatever of the Romans; for they are superior to us neither in numbers nor in bravery. And here is the proof: they have protected themselves with helmets and breastplates and greaves and yet further provided themselves with palisades and walls and trenches to make sure of suffering no harm by an incursion of their enemies. For they are influenced by their fears when they adopt this kind of fighting in preference to the plan we follow of rough and ready action. 3 Indeed, we enjoy such a surplus of bravery, that we regard our tents as safer than their walls and our shields as affording greater protection than their whole suits of mail. As a consequence, we when victorious capture them, and when overpowered elude them; and if we ever choose to retreat anywhere, we conceal ourselves in swamps and mountains so inaccessible that we can be neither discovered or taken. 4 Our opponents, however, can neither pursue anybody, by reason of their heavy armour, nor yet flee; and if they ever do slip away from us, they take refuge in certain appointed spots, where they shut themselves up as in a trap. 5 But these are not the only respects in which they are vastly inferior to us: there is also the fact that they cannot bear up under hunger, thirst, cold, or heat, as we can. They require shade and covering, they require kneaded bread and wine and oil, and if any of these things fails them, they perish; for us, on the other hand, any grass or root serves as bread, the juice of any plant as oil, any water as wine, any tree as a house. 6 Furthermore, this region is familiar to us and is our ally, but to them it is unknown and hostile. As for the rivers, we swim them naked, whereas they do not across them easily even with boats. Let us, therefore, go against them trusting boldly to good fortune. Let us show them that they are hares and foxes trying to rule over dogs and wolves."  https://romaninscriptionsofbritain.org/inscriptions/TabVindol164 "… the Britons are unprotected by armour (?). There are very many cavalry. The cavalry do not use swords nor do the wretched Britons mount in order to throw javelins." Found in Vindolanda, probably a Roman soldier describing the Caledonians. posted in the wrong topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
