I'm trying to track down where these helmets have come from. This plate was printed in The Wars of the Ancient Greeks by Hanson. Since it's a layman's book it doesn't go into too much detail about these helmet -- not even individual descriptions -- and the only thing in the bibliography points to the Bridgeman Art Library, which wasn't very helpful either. I recognize the petasos, the helmet in the center comes from a vase painting, and the bottom right from a mid-2nd century Seleukid coin. The others, I have no idea of. Any details would be appreciated.
