Question about Attic helmet

[Spurius Papirius Cursor]

Is there someone who can tell us a little more about this Hellenic type of helmet...?

Hi Lucius

Your helmet looks very Macedonian. I'm sure I've seen something like this as the model for phalangite helmets of about the time of the Battle of Pydna. The flange has the folded cloth look of a Boeotian helmet. The molded or beaten decoration of a triangle, peaking over the brow and "scrolling to stylized volutes at either side[1]" of the head has always fascinated me.

[1] Not my words and can't find source immediately.

I note a similar-looking helmet at http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/LX/HelmetC...useum.html.

Cheers
