A question, did someone has access to the publication of Nico Roymans on the massacre of the Tencteri?
https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/...81315144771-15
Because he presented this helmet on Dutch medias and I found interesting the writing on it:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
It is probably Lepontic/Rhaetic alphabet (ancestor of the futhark runes) and I wonder about the meaning and reading of this. For me, I see clearly the sounds 'O' and 'N' with the first and last symbol. The one in the middle is more difficult to read. If it is a cross symbol, it could be the sounds 'KS' or 'T' and if it is a "dagaz" like rune, it could be either the sounds 'S' or 'T/D'.
Nonetheless, the most easier readings and meanings I have are OKSN which could means the bull in both Celtic and Germanic or I have OTN / ODN which could be... WOTAN the nordic god (Odin).
Someone has information or access about this? (please)

I just read this great article by IlkkaSyvanne called The Battle of Magnesia in January 189 BC:
http://www.academia.edu/4169586/Syva...le_of_Magnesia
It´s quite well questioned my view on the Seleukid battle formation and some aspects of the course of this great battle of Hellenistic era. I think this is very well researched and reasoned in-depth analysis from the military point of view – something I missed in Grainger´s amazing book The Roman War of Antiochos the Great.
Also I found very interesting article called On funerary rites of Hellenistic Issa – an early pilum find and its cultural significanceby Marina Ugarković:
https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show...k_jezik=284897
I didn´t read this article, but the abstract is already very interesting. I will post just two sentences that triggered my interest:
“During excavations at the ancient necropolis which proceeded at the Vlaškanjiva site in the town of Vis in 1983, an iron pilum (javelin), a throwing weapon used by infantry soldiers, was found in one of the graves. This is currently a unique weapon find which is associated with the physical remains of Hellenistic funerary rituals practiced in Issa on the island of Vis, a Greek urban settlement in the central part of the eastern Adriatic seaboard.”
“The association between weapon and death offers some insight into a thus far unknown aspect of Issaean funerary customs and backs the view of a diversity of cultural identitiesof the residents of Issa as a component of dynamic interactions in the central Adriatic zone.”
An interesting document about the Berry (the territory of Bituriges) on Iron Age and gallo-roman period : https://www.persee.fr/doc/sracf_1159-7151_2001_atl_21_1
It should be usefull to write a province description for this region.

An interesting open-access article about Berenice in the Hellenistic times (I didn't know that untill recenlty we had known only the Roman times remains) has been recently published:

Probably most of you already have one but because of the price is worthy to share https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Gree...-Kindle/p/6366

fantastic, thanks. for anyone interested in Hellenic/Lamian War covered in EB's 'Events after Alexandros' historical battles (and in my playthrough) here is an interesting article.
For anybody playing Lugiones - this is might be an accompanying read:

I couldn't find anything about this in a search so I'm asking, is there any sort of educational documentary type thing that has been done by anyone based on EB?
Perhaps not based on EB, but might have been the other way around:
Erik Jensen, Barbarians in the Greek and Roman World, Indianapolis; Cambridge: Hackett Publishing, Inc., 2018
Looks interesting and simple, a review is to be read here.
Pretty pretty, shiny shiny.
