This painting presents the very last battle of Spartacus and I really like it. :mrgreen:
But there are is something particular that I found very original and unusual at the same time!
To be more specific I am talking about the helmet of this centurion running to saber with his sword bareheaded Spartacus!
No doubt this version of early Republican-Roman helmet preset sensible Hellenic influence but at the same time the helmet can not be slip over the warrior’s face like the hoplite classic version.
The iron-metal reflection shining from this helmet is acceptable as many of helmets were treated by tin!
I am not very in to the subject about republican roman helmets but my brother is very fond of roman history and his answer was like this-
Artifacts in museum’s collections can show us the best examples of the late republican helmets! So I’ve been wondering what I should think about this attractive looking republican helmet!
I haven’t seen the real artifact which can demonstrate the truth existence of exactly this kind of shape! Have you?
There are is one sculpture which preset exactly this kind of unusual Republic helmet but where the artifacts are or rather I haven’t seen one! ….similar like-Yes but not like exactly this one!
