A lot of these look familiar, but I was a bit taken aback by these two:

The first one is very unusual, and unlike any helmet I've seen before. The workmanship looks pretty crude, and it has the vaguely Hellenistic brow band, but the rest of it is very strange.
The second looks very interesting. Where was it found? Are the green portions restored, or simply corroded bronze?
You always post very interesting images of artefacts from Bulgaria. Thanks again for sharing!

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
