What's really interesting about the second Montefortino cheek piece is how the pin seems to have a curving doo-dah so it can be easily pulled out. Maybe...

It's also easier and faster to bend the pin than peening it.
Vale,

More belt parts: 1, 3 - brass, 2- silver, 4 - silvered brass.

Here is a brass belt buckle featuring Pan sleeping at the wineskin by the tipped over wine cup.

Finally, some iron projectile pieces.

Laudes from me too!
Montefortino helmets eh?
Nice to see them associated with Gallic A and Port bei Nidau type cheek guards for a change!! What a find! Assuming of course that they are from the same deposition layer!
Hmm I can see my Deepeeka Montefortino getting brass Gallic A cheek guards! What a nice sounding helmet!

The second cheek piece seem to be curved too, they look intriguing....
Re: Roman artifacts from Crimea - Peroni - 01-11-2008
Curved or possibly damaged. They should have a little curve to them.
I'm just thrilled to see another complete example of an Augustan period Gallic A type cheek guard!! In brass too!
