Hello Theo
Yes there is evidence. A2 is based on the mosaic from Santa Maria Maggiore, Richborough 1 although this is a very fragmentary helmet and another helmet which I am sure Robert is familiar with as it comes from his part of the world. G3 is based on one from Bulgaria and I can send you details of that via your email.
An error! Never!

Quote:I'm very interested in the helmets on plates A and G. Specifically, I'm looking at figure A2 and G3. These look similar to the familiar Intercissa helmets. Is there evidence for these helmets as they appear in the book ?

Quote:The only discrepancy I detect between your diagram and Graham's painting is the neck guard. Graham's neck guard is way oversized but I suspect this is an error on his part.
