I will try my best to descrip them for you then. The three that I did have posted are as follows:
- The first helmet is a bowl with a ridge down the center running front to back. On the front there are two circles that looks to be eyes. Cheeck peices on both sides with holes on the joint for ears and a neck gaurd in the back which looks to be on a hinge.
- The second helment is the same as abve but on the bowl around the eyes and down the sides of the bowl are crosses.
- The third is a bowl that looks like it is made of several peices. There is a plate that looks holds the front and the back part of the bowl together. A ridge peice that runs front to back and a pinned on noise gaurd. Cheeck peices that are on hinges with holes for the ears and a hinged on neck guard. This one also, by the picture, seems to have a much taller bowl than the other two.
Were these helmets made because of the change in warefare from large scale battles with greece, carthage, and eygpt to the small scale attacks with the barbarian tribes?
Was it because of the decline of the Empire and lack of money and knowledge to make such things?
