Re: an odd helmet - marcos - 04-04-2009 fine :wink: ; no reconstruction , everything is original. Some other images of the lorica. You can see a semi-cleaned piece and here where the finding is from Re: an odd helmet - Gaius Julius Caesar - 04-04-2009 That is an excellent picture, I ca nsee now they are riveted. Sorry, It was just tha tthey looked odd in the other shot, and I was wondering if they were actually butted! That is cool. 8) Re: an odd helmet - markusaurelius - 04-05-2009 Just because they were sold together does not mean they came from the same location. It is possible that they are from different helmets, as the fragment is not clearly attached to the main piece. Re: an odd helmet - Peroni - 04-05-2009 Quote:The city of VIDIN mentioned in the discussion is located abt 15 km from the roman city of RATIARIA or RATSIARIA. This is the fomer capital of lower moesia province. Location of 2 legions (Dacian war campaign started there). A cultural hub no doubt and one of the most important roman sites on the danube. It was also home to the danube protection fleet which is probably where the name derives from ! Today the ancient Roman settlement is regularly raided and destroyed by treasure-hunters. http://news.guide-bulgaria.com/NW/Vidin ... _Ratsiaria Re: an odd helmet - Gaius Julius Caesar - 04-05-2009 I remember seeing a documentary on the subject a year or 2 ago. Sad that such a rich site is left to be looted. Re: an odd helmet - marvises - 04-06-2009 wow that is very strange the shape of it looks like it would be a thigh plate piece from the middle ages but i don't know a lot it is very tall for a helmet but yeah that is strange never seen anything like that before i am stumped...
