First Sneak Peek at the Dioskouri Corinthian
#60
That would mean that they are 3 times heavier than the large amount of the originals. Are they cast completely? The originals, such as the Denda in Munich or the examples from Olympia mostly are very thin at the top back and back of the skull, sometimes less than 0.4 mm ("paper-thin"), while at the same time being quite thick in the face region. As has been discussed elsewhere here on RAT a while ago, the helmets were cast, probably with a very shallow skull, which then was hammered into a much higher form. This method is also testified for early Corinthian helmets, as shown in "Die Helme des Hephaistos".
