Salve omnes,
I'd like your opinion on this helmet. It is said to be a legionary helmet from the 1st-3rd century found in Thrace. No further context is known :roll:
It looks a bit like a tribune/high officer helmet like we see depicted in Roman sculptural art (like Trajan's column).
Could this be a genuine example of this archaeologically almost unknown helmet type? Or is it a fake... :?
Here are the pictures:
