Quote:Most of the Corinthian helmets I have seen were cast bronze, if that is of any help.

Confusedhock: No way! ALL corinthian helmets were hammered. not one cast one has been found! Where did you read or see that? Even today,very few reproductions are cast,and are very heavy,almost imposible to wear. The fact that they were not cast is one of the reasons asncient greek metallurgist are considered so extraordinary craftsmen,modern metallurgist being unable to reconstruct many of those weapons' characteristics.
