 Can somebody tell me more about the armour guy A is wearing? Especially the helmet,mail and gorget. Is it possible that(wealthy) warriors wearing this kind of armour have fought against the Romans? Thanks Greetings Cataphract |

Actually, that is a Xi¨ngn¨² (Hsiung-nu) ÐÙÅ« warrior from Ancient Central Asia.

Information on how Hsiung-nu warriors were dressed seems to be scarse.
I would like to see how other authors depict Hsiung-nu warriors.

What kind of armour and helmet is this statue figure wearing?
What is the most probable form of armour?

The helmet looks like a Scythian cap.

Yes indeed but that warrior is more likely a male whereas his helmet is much shorter.

Do we have enough prove to assume as Gorelik that the Hsiung-nu are proto huns?
