I have added links to the illustrations referenced in 'Carolingian Arms and Armor in the Ninth Century' by Simon Coupland so that those without the books in the bibliography can follow his argument.
The illustrations include:
9th Century Carolingian Soldiers in the Bible of San Paolo Fuori Le Mura, c.870-880AD
9th Century Carolingian Soldiers in Codex Aureus of St. Emmeram (Saint Emmeram Gospels), c.870AD
9th Century Carolingian Soldiers in the Lothar Bible, 849-851AD
9th Century Carolingian Soldiers in the Vivian Bible, 845-851AD
Carolingian Cavalry in the Stuttgart Psalter, Württembergische Landesbibliothek, Cod.bibl.fol. 23
Carolingian soldiers in the Corbie Psalter, beginning of the 9th century, Northern France
Carolingian soldiers in The Golden Psalter of St. Gallen, Codex Perizoni F 17, c.883-888 and 890-900
Ivory Book Cover of Charles the Bald, France, c.860
Wall paintings in the Church of St. Benedict in Mals, South Tyrol, before 881AD
'Abraham an Lot' in Prudentius' Psychomachia, Bern Burgerbibliothek, Cod. 264, Lake Constance, c.900AD
The Leiden I Maccabees manuscript, Germany, second half of 9th–early 10th century, Codex Per F 17
Lombard Arms & Costume in an 11th Century copy of the Encyclopedia of Maurus Hrabanus or De rerum naturis
Camparisons are made with Byzantine illustrations:
A soldier in the Roman Virgil Vatican, MS Vat. lat. 3867, fol. 74v, Romano-Byzantine, 5th century
Byzantine plates with biblical characters in Byzantine costume & armour of the reign of Herakleios, early 7th century
Mount Athos Psalter, MS. Pantocrator 61, Byzantine, first half of the 9th century
Psalm 3, Chludov Psalter, Byzantine, Moscow, Historical Museum MS 129, 9th century
Bristol Psalter, London, British Library, Add. MS 40731, Byzantine, 11th century
The scenes of David and Goliath in the Bristol Psalter have the same composition and costume as David and Goliath in the Paris Psalter, 10th century, Bibliothèque nationale de France, MS. gr. 139
