type of helmet

[marcii ulpi messala]

In Spain, all the hulls of type montefortino found and studied, they were not carrying the cheeks pieces. A study I reveal that some of them carried straps with clasps and another isolated find, cheeks pieces of leather with adornments of semispheres of bronze. This soldiers' sculpture was found in Osuna (Seville) and dated between the centuries III-II B.C.. Also figures were situated in parade with animals for the sacrifice. These helmets seem not to take cheeks, but a vertical strap and other two that divide from the neck-guard nape to the low part of the jaw.
