Santa Maggiore Mosaic

[Nathan Ross]

these pictures like possible representation of Niederbieber type helmet...

Very nice! And yes, they do look like very clear representations of Niederbieber types - interesting to see them going on into the 4th century. I hadn't seen that mosaic before - does the jpg title say it's from a synagagoe in Merot, or something? Any more info?

(These 'trophy' helmets from the Diocletian relief look very similar to ones on the (reused) column bases from the Arch of Constantine. It looks like they have twin feather or plumed side crests!)

While on the subject of uncertain helmet depictions, here's this one again, the 'Hercules' mosaic from Piazza Armerina. We've discussed this one before, but the jury's still out - Niederbieber? Intercisa? Something... else?
