He looks like Stannis Baratheon

You're a pretty big emperor

He's very heavily based on Stephen Dillane as Stannis in that pic. Seems appropriate really.

Did legions have priests riding with the squadrons?

good catch and a good thread.

He looks like a political officer of some sort to me, I could be wrong though

also,

>no stirrups
>no horns

What saddle is this and why is it suitable for cavalry combat?

those helmets are the last type that looked somewhat Roman

Ridge helmets a shit

FOR YOU

Those are the Niederbieber Helmets, not what the Romans would have called them, but based on where the first example was found, archaeologically, in Germany.

i know, i just dislike how there's no transitional examples between this and this

Because there weren't any transitional forms. Those are Sassanian helmets, taken directly from Persia. But hey, Romans were a practical people. They were happy to copy something that worked. After all, "Roman" helmets had in fact Gallic origin. Before wars with Gauls, Romans used hellenistic helmets.

Stirrups only came to europe after the 7th century brainlet.
