Further to your question regarding wearing the Corinthian "up"; firstly, this will always be more comfortable if the cheekpieces and nasal are lined. Secondly, there is now a picture of the author (that's me) on duty at the British Museum ( of COURSE I had to mention it!) with Corinthian in said position, which clearly demonstrates much of what the author (that's me) said in his last post to be utter tripe! You can see the whole face with quite horrifying clarity. I was actually able to walk around with the helmet in this position, although it was like one of those deportment exercises where you walk around with a book on your head. The picture is at www. hoplites.org. I think it's on the Home page. you may find some of the other images there helpful. (You may find them offensive, but that's a chance you have to take...)
