Helmet Identification

Crispianus pid='349876' dateline='1578134725']

These are two images of coins minted by Herod and dated year three.  Does anyone have thoughts on the type of helmet depicted and know of similar extant helmets?

Not extent examples but the type is common on Hellenistic coins and could be a developed version or variation of the Boetian helmet of earlier times, though it seems likely only the depiction existed so late.

Might it be something like this? https://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_...ID=4265306

What is your reasoning for thinking only the depiction survived?  Lack of actual finds?

I can't think of any for the 1st cent bc/ad, I think its normally accepted that the Boetian types and their Hellenistic variations come to an end by the 2nd cent bc ish though there may be some late hangers on, your link doesn't work by the way... at least one Celtic iron helmet from the 1st cent bc has some profile similarity's so may be connected.

I've attached the picture from Christies since the link doesn't work.

I wish (not for the first time) that I spoke german.  Not sure how it was dated so I don't know how much stock to put in the 2nd-1st Cent. date.
