Quote:As I said earlier, there are only two examples of this particular type preserved, the helmet from Vergina and this one from Canosa. Depictions are on coins of Orthagoreia.
Isn't it three with the Marvinci example? BTW, that picture of the Marvinci example is of a facsimile, and not the original helmet.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
