Yes, Herr Dr. Junkelmann is adamant that 4th and 3rd century BC bronze Montefortino helmets were cast using a "lost-wax" technique first then cleaned up by polishing, sometimes on a lathe. I'll translate the salient bits of the relevant passage from "Roemische Helme" a bit later on today and post it. The manufacturing techniques changed over the centuries too. I'll post bits of that discussion too.<br>
