Iron Phrygian Helmet
#4
The question is,shouldn't these helmets be identified with another name? I mean,they are clearly a distinct type. They have a solid "crest" instead of a hollow and rounded one. They are also constructed of seven pieces with bands riveted all around the helmets,the bowl made of two parts etc. And although there seem to have been phrygian helmets with smaller cheek pieces,the most common type is the one with the face/mask. Maybe it is noteworthy that of these phrygian helmets i haven't seen one iron example,wheras of the three or i can remeber now of this "other" type,the two are iron. The answer could be that they preffered to work smaller pieces in iron, and make helmets of several pieces.
