Are those Roman helmets I see? 😈

[–] PugJesus 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Amusingly enough, the style of helmet often associated with Roman legionaries is Celtic in origin.

Very interesting! From some quick research, it looks like the guy on the left is wearing a classic port helmet and the guy on the right has something like an Alesia or Agen port helmet variant.

That horse looks a bit big too.

Saddles ? Werent Saddles invented long after the establishment of the French Nation ? So Gallic Warriors in France would have already succumbed to the French Royal conquests.

Saddles are ancient; you may be thinking of stirrups, which only spread to Europe after the arrival of the Franks.
