I think you've misunderstood me. I'm not comparing the Boeotian helmet on the coin to that of the Pyrrhus bust. I'm referring to Gioi's statement that "Pyrrhus helmet is a unique helmet... just like some of each Kindom of Alexander's sucessors would have one..." The helmet worn by the Bactrian king on the coin is not unique. It is just a late style Boeotian helmet, whereas Pyrrhus' is unique.

Yes it is, from a book entitled, IIRC, Warlords.

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
