Gioi: Hi and thanks for the welcome. Glad to be here. Thank you for re posting these,Giannis was also kind enough to recently repost most of these.But wouldn't you know the main one I was referring to is 'none of these'.They are all great but this one must have been one of Connolly's or a similar artist.It was not the Rava one, or any of these others here now- but I'm sure I saw Argos panoply and/or some armors based on these esp. Ie. the Kegel Helm with High "hemispherical" we could say crest as well as other unique pieces(it had to therefore obviously be primarily 8th century). Also early Corinthians as in the Mcbride plate- yes Ancient Armies by Concord (though some may have been of this style, at least one or more was of the earliest "proto"- Corinthian form) as it Is sometimes known- The type probably is also the kind most reminiscent of late Medieval/Early Renaissance Barbute Helm- so at least 700s B.C. also.- If you know the type I mean.Those were just a few of the features I was sure I saw.
---Please tell me there is no way I Imagined this plate. --As I mentioned a couple of posts back I think this may have come originally from Connolly's "The Greek Armies"- or so I was led to believe ( Irritably it was not in My vintage copy i bought earlier this year, wish I could find out why that is?) and it is not in at least in the current edition of "Greece and Rome at War", but back on point; I think it may have been in that post where you referred the other member to it also being in one or both of those history Encyclopedias- which now has a blank window saying "image moved or deleted" If Im remembering right that might help you to recall the one in question.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for all the help so far.
Jon.
