Umm folks, sorry for necro-ing this thread but since my question is very related to helmets, may I ask a question?
The Boeotian helmet was the only helmet used by the hoplites whose contemporary name was known to us right? How about the other helmets? Were there any clues as to what their contemporary names were?
If not, then let's go into the realm of...fantasy doesn't sound like the right term to use so let's use speculation instead.
What was the most likely name that would've been given to the Corinthian helmet by the Persian Wars era Greeks?
