<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 7658698, member: 110350"]From scrolling through the examples on acsearch, all I can say is "more than one, but certainly less than half." Either it's a tall conical cap or the guy's a conehead. I didn't see any wearing a helmet that might suggest an intention to portray a soldier fighting a war hound. (Not that beast-fighters couldn't have worn a helmet in the arena, of course.) Obviously, though, the headgear is very minor among the reasons I think the animal is a lion rather than a hound.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've never seen your rat identified as a mouse, given that it's bigger than the horses' heads! Some extinct giant rat species, no doubt. I admit that my intense dislike of rats means I'll probably never buy an example of this type.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
