Unless the Tyrins helmet has cheekpieces that come together to touch under the chin I can't see how that fragment can be depicting the Tyrins helm.

Quote:Unless the Tyrins helmet has cheekpieces that come together to touch under the chin I can't see how that fragment can be depicting the Tyrins helm.In Mr Kasner´s reconstraction according to Mr Amt "It came out too small and shallow" and this makes me think that the chieckpieces probaby touched under the chin but again I am speculating.
Having look again at the Thrakian helmet with the "face mask" like chieck pieces I must say that your commends gave me food for thought.
Who knows the answer might be one "pick strike" away and there are images that I saw in the Bronze Age Center that made me going through my books again. (like this Corinthian helmet with the "celto-norse" type horns!!!!!!!!)

We cannot talk of catafracts but some people did take the extra step to protect their horse from harm.
