On holiday in Kos, there was this lovely Hellenistic trophy on display in the museum (apologies for the slightly terrible quality).
What is interesting to me is the combination of Hellenic equipment (kopis sword, greaves, what appears to be an overturned shield) with what appears to be 2 montefortino helmets, one upside down.
Are there any records or other images which show montefortino helmets being worn by late hellenic soldiers?
