Quote::lol: ...I was being descriptive, rather than allocating a name.....I suppose a more accurate description would be "the type of evolved Thracian helmet that appears to have seen common use during the reigns of the Antigonid Kings in Macedonia". These helmets have also been referred to as "low-crested late Macedonian style" or similar by Duncan Head and others ( see e.g. AotMaPW, 1982)The Oracle:31qks09h Wrote:"Antigonid" evolved Thracian helmet? sweet name ...
I don't think I've ever seen it called "Antigonid" by anyone other than Paul...
