Quote: In the vase the scales are on a corinthianIt looks to me like the cheek-pieces are hinged in the vase-painting, a type certainly known; compare the helmet from Gubbio in the Villla Giulia Museum.
The Manning Imperial is nice work, but it doesn't look too much like anything ancient I've seen. The cheek-pieces seem Renaissancey-Roman, the ridged nasal Late Antique, though the overall shape looks like a Chalcidian-type.
