Legate/Tribune helmet hunt

[Theodosius the Great]

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
Salve to all for now,
Vitruvius a.k.a. Larry Mager

I dunno, Larry. Tarbicus is right, the Rhodes statue is Hellenistic (3rd C. b.C.).
OTOH, the Romans themselves wore Hellenistic armor during the mid-Republic
but do you really want to make an impression from that period ?

BTW, the Rhodes helmet looks like the inspiration for Leonidas' helmet from
the original '300 Spartans' (see the attachment below)
