This list confuse me a little, since Greece, Rome and the Celtic world was same civilization. Rome and Greece was the perifphery with lot of cultural contact to the Oriental and the Egyptian world and the Celtic Europe was the core, the original spirit of theis world (the Greek dark age for example more European than the Oriental influenced classic age, as the early medieval Lombard Italy was more European, than the 13-14th century Italian polis states!). Or which Mesopotamian? The early Mesopotamian civilization (Ubaid 6600-4600BC), or the Sumerian civilization (4600-2500BC), or he classic Mesopotamia, the Babilonian civilization? Or the last great Oriental civilization the Perso-Arab world from Darius to the Byzantine fall? And this was the same situation in China, since uniform Chinese civilization also never existed, only very different Chinese civilizations:

1st civilization: 3700-1700BC - late Yangshao-Longshang-Xia
2nd civilization: 1700BC-200AD - Shang-Han
3rd civilization: since 200AD - Three Kingdoms-present

I prefer the second Chinese civilization and one of the old Eurasian civilizations, the steppic Aryan (3300-1300BC) for example.

ps. Iberia was the border between the Saharan African, the Oriental world and Europe everytimes.

I'm glad you posted the maille armour, for the majority of the roman empire this is what the soldier wore. Even though they are more often depicted wearing the Lorica segmentata in films and such, it wasn't utilized for a large period of time. Although I think it looks really awesome.



When does Hollywood get anything right anyway.
