    Icon3 Byzantine plates of the reign of Herakleios

    Byzantine Plates of David from the reign of Herakleios, early 7th century

    Elaborate dishes used for display at banquets were common in the late Roman and early Byzantine world; generally decorated with classical themes, these objects conveyed wealth, social status, and learning. This set of silver plates may be the earliest surviving example of the use of biblical scenes for such displays.

    Default Re: German Soldiers in Eneit, or Aeneasroman, by Heinrich von Veldeke, Germany 1215

    Interesring. The shields have what appears to be coat of arms, or what could be thd beginnings of a coat of arms..

    What is interesting is that the shields and helmets are not quite what we have seen on other European knights. As the article pointed out, what the soldiers are wearing are like a small great helm with a face mask, and the mail coif that covers the face except the eyes was rare outside Central Asia and the Islamic world, yet the soldiers' swords are just typical medieval European swords.

    Peharps, because the images were of legendary figures of the distant past, the artist slightly modified the images so they didn't exactly look like contemporary knights of his time. That would explain why some of the soldiers the artist shows are wearing turbans, and the almost rounded appearance of the more shields. The artist doesn't want you to think these are contemporary contemporary knights. .
