Iron Phrygian Helmet

[M. Demetrius]

There are several ways to impart a bronze-like appearance to steel. Whether that would work would depend on what the other people you are working with say. Is it authentic? No, not entirely. But if the ancients painted their helmets (and some evidently did), and you painted the steel, who would know what the metallurgist would report, and why would that make any difference? It's a matter of where you set the guide line you follow. Some say one thing, some another.
