Again from experience, once you start collecting these helmets, they add up quite quickly if you have a group of people hunting for them. As I told Paul, I have quite a few photos of Greek helmets. That I don't have time to run this database does not mean I won't contribute.
Glad to see Dan volunteered!
Paul B: greekarmy.com is already registered. But you are right, an ultimate goal might be to have an all encompassing educational warfare in the Ancient world site...
