ΚΑΤΩ Η ΣΥΓΚΥΒΕΡΝΗΣΗ ΤΩΝ ΠΡΟΔΟΤΩΝ!!!

Strabo – “Geography”
“There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis. Then, a little further on, Strabo mentions Cypsela and the Hebrus River, and also describes a sort of parallelogram in which the whole of Macedonia lies.”

<strong>THE</strong> <strong>EARLY</strong> IRON <strong>AGE</strong> IN EUROPE. 421<br />

for a large dolichocephalic head. From front to back it is surmounted<br />

<strong>by</strong> a high and strong ridge ((f>d\o^).<br />

The other is of<br />

a different<br />

shape, being nearly circular^ with a projecting rim<br />

(like that of a hat) running all round it, but no ridge or crest.<br />

Helmets with similar rims, sometimes without any ridge as in<br />

this case, but sometimes furnished with a ridge or crest, or<br />

even two. have been found in<br />

Carniola-, the land of the Carni,<br />

and one with a like rim without a ridge was found not far<br />

from Lodi in Italy'*.<br />

The helmet is (juite different from the<br />

Roman type, and also from the Etruscan. The fact that one<br />

helmet was made lor a large dolichocephalic head, such as<br />

those of the Scandinavians, whilst the other was shaped for a<br />

broad skull, confirms the historical evidence (p. 394) that in<br />

the Alps the people from the North were intermixed with the<br />

Alpine race.<br />

Breastplate. Many plates df bronze, which seem almost<br />

certainly to have formed part of body armour, were discovered.<br />

One piece of bronze of large size, and highly decoi'ated with<br />

animals and geometrical (^I'uament, appears t(j<br />

have been fastened<br />

on leather and worn as a breastplate. This could well be<br />

termed TroXvSaldaXo^, the ej)ithet of the Homeric thorax. It<br />

was accompanied <strong>by</strong> a sword with an ivoi-y<br />

hilt.<br />
