I wonder if anyone would agree that this helmet bears a striking likeness to some of the paintings that have been found showing Mithras and the Bull? Given the popularity of the Mithraic cult amongst the Roman military, could this helmet have been used in cult ceremonies, rather than in the hippika gymnasia events? Just a thought!
