That's a great site. I'm also intrigued by a couple of the other helmets, which I haven't seen published elsewhere. One is the I/G with the red-enamelled crest anchor. The eyebrow treatment seems different than I've seen elsewhere. Also, there seems to be a gold decoration in the center of the brow band. Does this hemmet fall into any of the known categories?<br>
Another is the first Montefortino pictured. I don't know of another with a lowered neckguard and ear cutouts, and the cutout seems to be flanged outward. Plus, the cheek plates have a Greeky look. Is this definitely a Roman specimen? Might it be Celtic? <p></p><i></i>
