Am I the only one to be somewhat worried by the "Boeotian/Phrygian" helmet - and the rather celtic-looking sword?
02-25-2006, 08:22 PM
The references for the sword and helmet are found in the Osprey title, "Scythians 700-300BC". Look up pages 10 and 33.

Skythians were not only looters but also controlers of trade roots.
"Unusual" items could be in the posession of nobles at least. Kind regards

Having said that, I must add that I've rather lost faith in the Osprey illustrations ( they show impossibly shallow shields, in some cases, for one thing); does the book give a provenance for such a helmet?

Nice helmet, but isn't it Attic, rather than Corinthian? ( sticking my neck out again!)
