This helmet is in the Hermitage in St.Peterburg, Russia. It is dubbed Sarmatian, dates to first century, was discoverd in Roslov. They kindly allowed me a few pictures, which I have sent to Jasper for the helmet database, along with two Greeks (500 BC and 750 BC). I will add one here, if you use it for ANYTHING other than looking at it, quote the source (not me, Hermitage!) I recently scrounged through their exhibits, some of the ones I liked best (pre-history, which is mostly bronze and iron age) are tucked into the basement, all info in Cyrilic Russian. Great gravefinds with good displays. Painting are for the birds (and other toerists). Life as a ISO 14001 consultant is hell!
