Ave, While I'm not trying to play Moderator here, I think we are on the verge of getting off topic. I have read different places that guilding was occasionally used as a simpler, safer way of transporting one's wealth, but I doubt anyone but the Emperor would have had thier entire helm guilded. I also wonder if Trajan's combat helmet wasn't un guilded so as not to attract attention from the Dacians (heh-heh)
