Ancient helmets from Bulgaria

[john m roberts]

Are there any specimens of that Hellenistic helmet (with or without horns) that have survived with their cheekplates and neckguard intact? Connoly reproduces them in his painting of the Hydaspes battle, but I don't know if his reconstruction is based on specimens or is speculative. I've always liked that design, though it's a rare one. To me, it somehow looks very soldierly.
