A number of Spanish ones in my list just forwarded yesterday (Montefortino's) - only thing is some of them may not all be "Roman" - may have belonged to the opposition!

Put them in my list though because they are still Montefortino style & shows possible cultural exchange/influence

I was wondering, since its obviously not a Montefortino, if this one is also on that Excel list.

no that one wasnt on my excel list (if that's the list you meant), - I only really started with Montefortino's - but a number of Montys are on from similar areas which may not necessarily be "Roman" (as previously mentioned) purely becouse the Monty was used for so long by so many people.

The find site of this one can be amended to "Verdun, Slovenia" It's in 'Antike Helme' Page 333

Hi guys,
I've received all new photos (thanks!), just need to get over my jetlag and get admin back on order, then I'll upload them all.

I took several different views of helmets in several places, including a couple of gladiator helmets. I know which museum they are in and the general type, but no find details. I am not sure if they would be of interest, and I'll probably need to send them on a CD-ROM, since my dial-up is 3000 baud (3K)on a good day.

Museums included
Nijmegen, Leiden, Mainz, Strasbourg, Arlon, Aalen, Capua (Gladiator),

I would like a listing of which museums have what helmets to start planning my next trip.

I'm new to here so forgive me if this is no interest to you but I didn't see the ribchester parade helmet mentioned. It was found in Ribchester England which now displays a replica as the original is housed in the British Museum. A replica can be seen at http://www.legionxxiv.org/ribchesterhelm/
A photo of the original is here:

Hilary:

Must be slipping here. Did you send me your list? If you did - did I thank you for it? (If not, I apologise for my rudeness!) I have a vague memory of sending you a disc with my database thereon. You may need an update as I've added a lot since then as well as making some corrections and including two more indices.

Don't worry about whether the 'Spanish' helmets were Roman or Iberian - doesn't matter in the slightest. It's most unlikely that (in the absence of names scratched somewhere on the things) we can tell who they were used by anyway. What matters is that they fall into one group or the other and this will give us more and better information as to what these things were like (weight, size, manufacturing methods, time span or use, etc.) The Iberian helmets are very interesting because they form a somewhat well-defined group. Regrettably, most of them remain unpublished and (owing to the poor distribution of Spanish publications) unavailable to the rest of us.

BTW, my own database of helmets is now approaching 500. Any advance anyone? (Winner gets a bag of Dolly Mixtures!) :lol:
