Legate/Tribune helmet hunt

[Vitruvius]

Ave, Gaius, and Theo ,
I would also like to have a copy of said Thelenhoffen. I believe there are some earlier threads about said helm and I think it includes links to ARCHEOS in Italy who not only makes a copy of it, but another variation on it. While I would like to have a copy for display, I would like to have something a little less Hollywoodish for my re-enacting. I fear that the Thelen helm is as close as we are going to get to an actual "Attic" type officer's helm. BTW, Comitatus' web site is down...changing servers perhaps? And no, I was not being sarcastic about using Severus Acceptus'
helm for my late Roman Officer impression. TBT, I really admire Comitatus organization.
Salve, my friends, for now,
Larry Mager a.k.a Vitruvius

Now the one on the upper right of this page is bang on for a tribune's helmet IMHO (Thanks to Byron for pointing the place out):

ELMO DA UFFICIALE REPUBBLICANO

A couple of other interesting helmets in there as well.

That one looks spot on indeed. the Autun helmet is also nice to see.

Does anyone know how these helmets are constructed? Are they hammered or cast? Or perhaps cold cast?

vale,

[Tarbicus]

Jef, he has a contact page. Maybe you should email him.

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Wow!!!!!! I haven't visited that site for yonks, thanks Jim!

They have new stuff indeed! 8)

The Italic A also has a "pop-out" brow piece, hammered from the bowl and with the typical circular ends about the temples.

Yes, I'd say you're on to something there, Tarbicus :!: - like Byron said.
Interesting helmet, I'd never seen it before and always wondered
why it was never discussed or displayed. Maybe it's been hidden in
some guy's private collection ?

Why so ? Because the brow somewhat resembles the Italic 'A' ? That's a good point.
Too bad it may only work for an Augustan tribune, IMO.

It looks Hellenistic :wink:

Ave Tarbicus!!!!!!!!!
WOW!!!!!!!!!! You are absolutelyRIGHT!!!!!!!!!! Other than lacking the Sphinx on the crest box and the embossed fighters on the crown, that helm is spot on to the Rhodes Trophy!!!! Depending on how it is made, IMHO it would be worth ignoring the Thelenhofen helm (at least for my Hadrianic impression) for now.
Once again, the Romans have come through. The only way I could have had a better present for Christmas is if I had the money right now to order it. If and When anyone does contact the owner of ARCHEOS and finds out how the helment is made, please PM me D D

Thanks all !

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Italio-corinthian......

[Proximus]

Ah, ok... I thaught I had understood Italo-corinthian helmet was more something like that :

But thanks, I can start with something now !

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Nope....unless some one has changed things again.... :roll: :lol:

[Proximus]

Ok ! Again, thank you ! And sorry for the invasion of the thread ! Nextime I'll post in the beginer section, I think it would be more appreciated !

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Actually, my boo-boo, Its Apulo-corinthian...... :oops: Another red face moment in my RAT career! :roll: Similar to this on on Armaes site.

[Proximus]

Wonderfull ! I was already writing a protestation letter to google because they "switch the italo-corinthian with another helmet who does not correspond "

Apulo-Chorinthian works perfectly ! You just saved google !

Again and again, thank you... Errare humanum est, isn't it ?
