Good evening to everybody!
I would like to ask for some information on the Buggenum-type helmet (or Robinson's C and D, or Mauriño's II) and I apologize in advance if my question will be a bit ‘stupid.
Reading past and recent bibliography on this subject I did not completely understand the current opinion of the scholars on this type of helmet.
Quoting M. Feugere (2011, Casques Antiques - N.E.): "the Buggenum-type helmets strongly reminds its predecessors, which have been often confused with. The distinction between the two models is important, because the former have been used from the 4th century BC to the beginning of the 1st century BC, while the Buggenum-type characterizes the years from 50 BC to 10 AD".
So my question is, this helmet is considered a "variety" in the Montefortino’s line or a much independent type related to a circumscribed period of time?
Many thanks for any clarification.
Best!
S.M.
