This is a Thracian warrior with a Helenistic helmet.The helmets of the Thracians seemed to be a mixture between a Scythian and a Greek Hoplite one.In some cases they wear a similar one to the Spartans. Attachments:

Some of their gear was indeed very similar to the greek stuff, but Thracians gave their pieces this special thracian style. It's hard to define, but the proportions and decoration are just distinctly different. I linked to an amazing gallery of Odryssian (thracian) objects on my blog some time ago: janpospisil.blogspot.com/2010/11/treasures-of-odryssian-warriors.html

Thanks for that link. I also like your blog. I don't get HBO so I haven't been able to keep up with Game of Thrones yet. Looks awesome.

That was a good one! And this Thracian cap, which strikingly seems similar to that of Scythians, has many things to say.

Yes,the hat of the Thracian looked very similar to the Scythians.Somehow the Scythians and the Thracians had a lot of similarities between eachother.It is believed that eventually the Thracians came on Balkan peninsula from northeast of the Black sea,which was is location of the Scythians normally.But later on the two nations started to confront eachother,It was more than the Scythians often raided the Thracian lands from the norht side.

I think it is very probable that at least part of Thracian aristocracy was from Scythian origin. There is many indications (especially by Herodotus) that Thracian kings have considered themselves as different from native Balkan population and have practised different cult. This could explain also the famous cult of rider-heroes. Only in the Orphism the aristocratic religion was united with that of the common folk. Anyway the dynastic relations between Odryssian and Scythian royal families are well known. Such is also the version presented in the epic "Chulman Tolgau" (if one takes it seriously of course - unfortunately it is still considered non-reliable...).

The New Spartacus : Vengeance series are released on www.starz.com - Incredible movie -very cruel and bloody ,but yet so realistic.Its incredible how many romans Spartacus and his rebelion killed before they eventually were brought down by the roman legions.SPARTACUS Is indeen on of the biggest heroes on earth ! The legend tells that he was blessed by the gods.Very much like Achilles.He was from the Thracian tribe MEDAE. Attachments:
