Quote:Sure, but a typological detail motivates me to reconstruct a visor on the Marvinci-helmet.
But you just argued that the Marvinci helmet shouldn't be included in the group because it didn't have a visor.... And if studying Hellenistic helmets has taught me anything, it is that there was so much mixing and matching going on with different elements that we can't rely on typologies to reconstruct missing portions of helmets.

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
