Rare Roman Cavalry Mask Fragment Found on Ancient Rhine Battlefield

A rusted lump of iron found at an ancient battlefield in Krefeld, Germany, has revealed itself to be a large fragment from a rare 1st century Roman cavalry mask.

The cavalry mask is of the Nijmegen-Kops type. Only 15 of them are known, most of them found in the former territory of the Batavi, so the type is closely associated with Batavi horsemen. It was attached to the headband of the helmet with a hinge. The emotionless silvered visage was meant to be intimidating for opponents on the battlefield and in hand-to-hand combat.

The Batavi were already intimidating, so famed for their prowess in combat that Rome granted them a special tax and tribute exemption in return for their service in Roman auxiliary infantry, cavalry and in the Augustan-era imperial bodyguards. Out of a population of less than 40,000 Batavi in the 1st century, 5,500 served as elite troops in the Roman military. That means that half of all Batavi men enlisted after they turned 16.

Batavi troops were essential to the conquest of Britain, but after they were withdrawn from Britannia in 66 A.D., tensions rose between the Batavi soldiers and Rome. Gaius Julius Civilis, the son of a Batavi chief who had served in the Roman auxiliaries for 25 years, led an uprising. He used Roman military tactics against them successfully for a year. In the fall of 69 A.D., Civilis’ crack troops surprised 12,000 Roman legionaries and auxiliaries in their field camp at Gelduba on the left bank of the Rhine. The Batavi entered the camp and started slaughtering, but they weren’t able to finish the job because Roman reinforcements arrived. Technically Rome eked out a victory, but they lost so many men it was Pyrrhic at best.

Since excavations began at the suspected site of the battle in 2017, thousands of relics of the battle have been unearthed, including 200 horse skeletons, armor and weapons. The corroded, lumpy metal plate was brought to the Archaeological Museum in Krefeld for documentation, conservation and study.

The fragment was X-rayed, and when archaeologists saw an eye slit, an ear and a rivet where the helmet attachment likely was, they realized they had a Phantom of the Opera section of a cavalry mask. Using a thin stream of sand, conservators exposed the eye slit and ear to confirm it was what it seemed to be. The rest of the corrosion will be removed after it spends six months in a lye bath for desalination. Once it is cleaned and conserved, the mask will go on display at the Krefeld Archaeological Museum.

In ancient times, no army was truly powerful without a cavalry. The equivalent of modern tanks and special forces, cavalrymen were the terror of the ancient battlefields. A force to be reckoned with, they had the power to shift the course of battle, while the sight of their charging horses frequently prompted brave soldiers to retreat in fear.

Arguably, the most powerful and organized cavalry in ancient times was that of the Romans. Playing key military roles throughout the regal, republican and imperial eras, the Roman cavalry was in many ways responsible for the continued successes and military expansion of Rome.

This article delves into the history, tactics, weaponry, and legacy of the Roman cavalry, shedding light on their unparalleled impact on ancient warfare and their enduring influence on military strategy.

So as some of you might know, we recently discovered everything Trojan horse system/Roman Cavalry System did and unfriended them.

We had some not so fun interactiona that we would like to share.

(I am going to say we as it was me & other alters in my system.)

TW: human expiramenting, self harm, suicide, depression, abuse, disrespecting triggers, venting without consent

So let's start with some disclaimers: we are openly a minor, we are very easily triggered due to our mental health not being great, we have BPD and split easily in situations like this, and we were not aware of their past when we befriended Trojan/Cavalry.

With all that out of the way, let's get into everything they did.

(All censored names are our system's discord/pluralkit names)

Just some proof we did tell them we're triggered by suicide related topics:

Them a few days later mentioning suicide without any warning:

Their Janus alter mentioning abuse & venting without warning or permission:

Giving a really triggering topic in a rp prompt with 0 warning and without asking about our triggers

Mentioning literally carving out someone's tounge and starvation without asking our triggers & without warning

Mentioning self harm without warning or knowing our triggers

While sending us their Janus headcanons, they mentioned suicide and mdd without warning, this is after they asked about our suicide trigger.

Very... Weird... Rp request... Again no warning or asking our triggers

Lying to us about why they were getting kicked from servers

I can't attach any more things so wait for my reblog for another very uncomfortable interaction I had with them and our confrontation with them.
