Quote:Just curious, would it be acceptable for a Thracian/Dacian (circa 3-4th century BC) reenactor to wear an Iron Phrgygian helmet with a bronze finish? Or would that be Farb? Are all surviving examples of Pyrygian style helmets bronze?
Iron 'Phrygian' helmets certainly existed around that time and place - the most famous coming from the so-called 'Philip' tomb, but one or two other iron 'Phrygian helmets, late 4C-early 3 C also exist - such as this one from Marvinci.
