Hold on though...it's just your opinion tarbi that says they're eyebrows right? Has someone with a PhD verified this? I mean if they haven't, then it's open to any interpretation. And since the eyes on a helmet theme seems to be pretty darn rare in the roman method of helmet decoration, why without anything solid as far as other references or evidence, can you say they're eyeballs?
What then, are all the other jewels supposed to be? Did people have 8 sets of eyes back then? My point is that there's an awful lot on that helmet then that represents nothing or something else that aren't eyes. If so, then what? Without clarification or justification it's not fair to say that those big ones in front are eyes and the jewels above them are eyebrows, given the rest of the decorations on the helmet.
