This is not really a bug, just something I found rather strange when I saw it :sweatdrop:
Unless I'm mistaken, the Camillan Triarii wear Corinthian helmets with cheekpieces. Is it intended to be like this, or did someone accidentaly combine a Corinthian helmet and a Roman-style helmet when making the skin?
Also, about the Equites Consulares, and other units wearing regular Corinthian helmets, wouldn't they put them on correctly before a battle?
They are on correctly, it's a type of helm, Etruscan I think. It's modeled after the Corinth helm so that it looks like one of those pushed up so they can see. I forget the real name of it right now.
It is the "False Corinthian Helm". When those who wore Corinthian Helms were not in battle, they would push it up on there head. Soldiers liked this look but didn't like the visual and autitory handicaps of the Corinthian Helm. So a smaller helm was made with fake eye holes that was designed to look like a Corinthian Helm that was pushed up to the top of your head. It was popular in Italy and some Roman Soldiers used it.
The dear child has many names, it would seem. "Italo-Corinthian" and "Etrusco-Corinthian" are two common ones AFAIK.
:shrug:
Bit decadent if you ask me, but soldierly vanity is soldierly vanity.
Thanks for the answer :)
Never heard of such a type of helmet before.
Its correct name is an Apulo-Corinthian helmet.
Cheers
