Were the cavalry masks common?

I don't think so, but I admit I'm not terribly well-informed on the subject. As far as I know, the masks were usually worn by cavalry standard-bearers in battle and officers on parade.

Posted a genuine artifact from the first century AD if you'd like to see a well-preserved one instead of a modern replica!
