Memories of Area 51

In Persia it was shah; the Sassanian ruler's name Shapur or Sapor meant son of a king.



The Sassanian period was from 3rd to 7th century or so; the Turks came later.



That's what the books say--Romano-Sassanian helmets.



I tried to get it back to Lazar.[/QUOT

The first ruler of the Sassanian Empire Ardashir. He proclaimed and This is historical fact. He was King of Kings means Sultan same difference There was ten different rulers, and 2 were Turkish.
I've read about all the Helmets of the Romans, none were called the Romano-Sassanian. Have you more information to prove that. I could be wrong?

I think the problem is that most refs don't cover the later Empire. But see Late Roman Infantryman page 53. It says "may have been influenced by Persian styles." But other refs have used Romano-Sssanian.

I look deeper. I have a book at home about the Romans and Greeks and most of the Helmets that are in the Book. Give no mention to a helmet called the Romano-Sassanian. There was eight different types of Roman Helmet, but i look later around the web later, there could be something on the internet that proves your case.

I couldn't find evidence to back up your believe. So unless you can prove what you said is true. I believe i was right here.

none were called the Romano-Sassanian.

IIRC the term appeared in an old book by Michael Simkins. But there's also evidence in the Late Roman Infantrman book.
