Quote:Would anyone like to set a date from which one would expect to see iron helmets. Nectanebo, ar you saying there are no recorded finds of iron Corinthians?
The big attraction of these items is that they're CHEAP, which is my second-favourite word. (Yep! My favourite is "free")!


AFAIK there are no recorded iron "Corinthian" helmets. The Vergina helmet dates from the mid-4th century BC, however this was probably a royal tomb, so it is hard to say that this type of helmet was typical for this period, my guess is that it certainly wasn't.

Even if some iron helmets were used by the 4th century BC, bronze helmets continued to be used until the late Roman empire, i.e. circa 300 AD.
