I didn't know quite where to post this, so my apologies to the mods, but this forum seemed the most fititng. I recently came across an article publishing four helmets from Turkey which I found to be very interesting. The article is in Turkish, which I cannot read, but a very brief English summary is provided which states the author's conclusions about each helmet. To make this interesting, I just thought I'd provide the images for everyone to see and guess what cultural provenance and approximate date was given to each helmet. After a few guesses I will post the actual attributions of the author.

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
