Avete omnes,
in the meantime I got Junkelmann's "Spiel mit dem Tod" and I found out that just the two helmets we are talking about in this topic, are two of the very few items that are not illustrated in his book (be envious, I won an Ebay auction and got it for only 11,61 Euro and it is in a very good condition, nearly new! And I totally agree with Aelia and others who call it their 'bible' in gladiatorial questions).
So the helmet from Ontario is Nr. H5 in Junkelmann's catalog and the other one ([url:vl8vepbp]http://www.clevelandart.org/exhibcef/antiochexhib/html/15437.html[/url]) is his Nr. H3. He dates both of them into the 2nd half of 1st century BC, but with a "?", obviously because he could judge them only after pictures. Really nice, how Junkelmann's phantastic book can be completed with pictures that are shown here at this topic. BTW, does anybody have a better picture from the Ontario helmet?
