Quote:I suggest you look without prejudice on some vase-paintings (eg from Euphronios) depicting warriors with upturned helmets and tell me: Wouldn't the pulled back helmet fall down backwards?No. I have a corinthian which fits my head very nicely, and when I turn it up on my head it sits there fine just as depicted.
In fact, the way to put the helmet on, because it fits so well, is to place it on the head in that 'up' position, then 'turn' it down over the front of my head and face.
