Socio, të jam falenderues për këto materiale të rralla që po i sjell vazhdimisht në forum.
Sa i përket 'stampës' së mësipërme të Lekës së parë, edhe unë mendoj se është një lloj helmete (rreth e rrotull kokës) ku janë të ngjitura dy brirë dhie. Ndërkaq, ajo pjesa më e zgjatur me gjasë është kësula kausia. Të paktën, kështu e lexova në një site në net. Por, ka mundësi edhe edhe të mos jetë kausia.
Alexander I probably wore the kausia for hunting. Demetrius had on his kausia a
woven diadem with long ends hanging down his back

Në fakt, këto materiale e çojnë në varr pretendimin helenistik mbi Maqedonasit 'grekë'. Ata s'ishin asgjë tjetër përpos ilirë.
Detyrë jona është që akoma të bëjmë gjetje të tilla në aspektin etnografik, dmth të veshjeve.
AgrianShigjetari i ka sjellë, me duket në disa faqe të mëparshme të kësaj teme, një krahasim midis fustanellës ilire dhe një lloj fustanelle maqedonase, që është gjetur diku në Baktri (ku kanë qenë të vendosur iliro-maqedonët e Lekës).
P.S: Materialin e skanuar ma ka dhënë një student grek i arkeologjisë.

Edhe Ptolemeu maqedonas në Egjipt paska veshur në kësulë të tillë:
The court of Ptolemy II can hardly have been second to any in magnificence — organized, like any other monarchic court, in a hierarchy of functionaries from the holders of high offices, such as the Chief Huntsman (archikynēgos), the Chief Seneschal (archedeatros), the Chief Physician (archiatros), the Chief Cupbearers (archioinochooi), to the grooms and porters and sweepers. Yet the magnificence would have been controlled by the Greek artistic tradition; Ptolemy's house would have been definitely the house of a great Greek, not that of a barbarian sultan, similar in type to the house of a rich Athenian, only larger and more splendid. Even when in its inner character, with the régime of eunuchs, it became Orientalized, its externals would have remained Greek.88 Its costumes would not have shown the artificial extravagance p119of either the older Oriental courts, Egyptian or Persian, or of the court of Versailles in the 18th century — no stiffened and arbitrarily cut apparel which fantastically misrepresented the human body — but the simplicity of Greek dress, either showing the human form as it is, or covering it with garments which adapted themselves to it easily in the beauty of natural folds. For the men, at any rate, no elaborate head-dresses, tiaras, or turbans, or conventional wigs, but at most a band, such as a Greek victor in the games tied about his head (a diadema) or a wreath imitating leaves in gold. Even the special head-dress which distinguished the king in these Hellenistic courts, after Alexander, was not a crown in our sense, but such a band of ribbon — such a "diadem." Only in richness of material, in colour — Tyrian purple of the first quality — in exquisiteness of embroidery, the dress of a king or a courtier would be distinguished from the dress of an ordinary Greek citizen. The royal dress for great occasions of state, however, was the Macedonian military array, a modification of the uniform worn by officers in the Hellenistic armies — a felt hat with wide brims called a kausia, the small oblong mantle called a chlamys, and the high-laced boots (krepīdes). It was just the dress of the Macedonian country gentleman glorified, and this again was really a form of the dress which Greeks generally wore for country pursuits, for hunting or travelling. The king's state chlamys would, of course, be of special splendour; we are told that the chlamys of Demetrius Poliorcetes had embroidered upon it the sun and moon and principal stars. When the king wore the kausia, the diadem was tied round the crown of it, its ends hanging behind. No doubt, like the Ptolemies themselves, the courtiers at Alexandria would all be clean-shaven. That was the general custom of the Greek world after Alexander — and had been adopted by the Roman aristocracy in the last century B.C. — till beards came into fashion again under the Emperor Hadrian.
Madje, një piktor i shek.16 e ka vizatuar kështu një nga Ptolemejtë:
Ndërkaq, një prej Ptolemjëve më të hershëm ka pasur pa dyshim PLIS:
Socio e kam një pyetje për ju: E di cilit vit i përkasin këto kausia të ilirëve?
Sepse ndër të tjerash gjeta edhe këtë:
No kausia is mentioned in Greek literature before 325/24 BC No depiction of the
cap can be securely dated earlier than that time. The kausia came to the
