Guttmann Collection Helmet History - Italic "H"

[Theodosius the Great]

Hi Crispvs,<br>
<br>
<br>
Quote:</em></strong><hr>How do you like your Deepeeka? Did you get the all-brass (Neidermormter) model, or the steel-and-brass (Guttmann) model? I've been thinking about getting one of these. I've heard they are HUGE<hr><br>
<br>
Yes it is ! The neckguard spans completely over my shoulders . It isn't uncomfortable though. My model is the Guttmann version.<br>
<br>
Quote:</em></strong><hr>I think the consensus on the ring is that it was a crest mount of some sort<hr><br>
<br>
Makes sense, but I don't think there's any monumental evidence to support a "tail" (at least during the Imperial period.)<br>
<br>
Quote:</em></strong><hr>I also wonder if this is what is intended by the helmet rings found on many of the helmets seen on Trajan's Column<hr><br>
<br>
Yeah, I would think so.<br>
<br>
This helmet's for my third century impression. I'm still waiting for my Newstead to arrive.<br>
