Indeed, I believe that's what it was based on.

Nope, that's a reconstruction that was done by using UV light to illuminate the original paint underneath on the sculpture.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian

I thing if you added a crest to the manning one it would change a lot of the look of the helmet. I think would look a lot like the Achilles one Zeondoros posted with the crest.

Ruben I saw a great article in one of the Archaeological magazines about UV and the use colour in the ancient work, it was amazing. So much colour.

Egforth I guess we are at the centre of our world map but sure every ones maps different, I would guess. Big Grin

I know, it really is amazing... I'm hoping they can do more work with it soon Smile .

No no no, Ruben! I was saying Elaine's helmet was based on the work in "Bunte Goette"! Specifically, the piece in the picture provided by Hadrian.
