awesome dump

Do you have any images of medieval Boyars? I saw a few depictions of them and they were wearing these totally rad facemasks as part of their panoply.

Here's a collection of 17th - 20th century uniforms by the painter Richard Knötel. It focusses on the German states of the 18th century, but it also features British, French, Russian and even American uniforms.

Normans are the craziest fuckers to me
Converted Christian Viking knights who were pretty good at war and conquered Sicily and southern Italy, and were at the forefront of the Crusades
They conquered most the British Isles and set a precedent for all future English monarchs
Oh and mercenaries for the Byzantine Empire

did aztecs really use bronze/copper axes as weapons? i thought it was just incas who used metal for tools and even they were mainly shearers and razors, not weapons.

The Spanish mention them as copper axes, but the chemical analysis have pointed that they were bronze alloys. The manufacturing and composition similarities suggest that the technique was introduced from Ecuador to Western Mesoamerica by a league of merchants.

I thought they were required to have one? Or was that just the British?

>>1463699
That was just compulsory for the British early in the war, but most of the "Poilu" just decided to have facial hair

>>1463704
Ah ok. I was probably assuming it was mandatory due to everyone having one (and the nickname Poilu).
