The page on Apulo-Corinthian helmets was something of a preview; I finally have something resembling a website uploaded at:
http://web-facstaff.sas.upenn.edu/~dpd/italica/

I have grand plans for it, but for now you'll have to be satisfied with:

Military Equipment:
*Apulo-Corinthian type helmets
*South Italian panoplies
*Central Italian panoplies (4th c. BC Umbria)

Sites of interest in Italy:
*Tomb of the Warrior, Lanuvio (RM), Lazio
*Monte Vairano, Busso (CB), Molise
*San Pietro Avellana (IS), Molise
*Museo Archeologico, Boiano (CB), Molise

Scanned documents:
*Oskische Grabmalerei, Fritz Weege, 1909.


Most of it is still in stages of roughing out, and I look forward to your numerous and useful comments, suggestions, and additions.

A great source, I look forward to your updates in the future.

Just a note: #39 under "South Italian Panoplies," the greaves image link leads to an image of the helmet from that find, and not the greaves.

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

A great site - and lots of useful 'stuff!' - rather more than the 'Italica stuff 'in the museo fiorentina and the museo archaeologica di Napoli.

Add More please???

That is a great site ! Good pictures of the greaves and cuirass's!
The more I look at these apulo-corinthian's the more it confirms my dislike for that particular helmet type....just can't beat the original corinthians! 8)

Definately like the attic-chalcidian wit hinlaid decoration, but must have been an odd shaped head! :roll:
