Quote:Some of us may call this helmet Greek, but I personally prefer Hellenic stile of helmet as all non-greek nations which adopted Greek culture used similar or just the same models of helmets.
Yes. I've seen illustrations with Carthaginian troops wearing this type of helm too.
It reminds me of US doughboys wearing British style helmets in the First World War.

Just one thing though - get rid of the Hollywood wrist bracers and you will look even better. :wink:
