102. Light Archer These men wore a short tunic, belted at the waist, and had a head fillet which was broader at the front than at the back. They were not provided with sandals and did not even have a sword. Quivers of the type illustrated were sometimes made of wood which was sheathed in metal. Examples of both bronze and copper quivers have been unearthed by archaeologists. | |
