Mhmm, it seems it is only me, but does the helmet of Pyrrhos (with cheek guards) not look like a typical Macedonian-Hellenistic helmet? Very similar to some other examples of the 3rd and 2nd c. BC, e.g. on the Pergamon altar. Of course the helmet is made individually but was this not the case for most helmets? What is so special with it?
BTW, I'm looking for more pictures of Hellenistic helmets, to utilize it for a reconstruction I'm considering. Is there a good source in the Inet?
