From the museum of Aquileia

[TITVS SABATINVS AQVILIVS]

Some interesting images From the museum of Aquileia http://www.museoarcheo-aquileia.it/muse ... /intro.htm (go to the photogalleries for nice, but small, images), if you don't know them yet:

IV century C.E. helmet with bunches of grapes


I century B.C. helmet



Weisenau type helmet


Valete,

Thanks Daniele.

Do you know if the middle sculpted helmet is attributed as being Roman, or is it Gallic spoila?

The Gallic helmet at bottom looks to be a Gallic F (if the occipital ridges are triangular in cross section, as they seem to be). If so, then the F seems to be up there as possibly the most commonly found helmet?

Looks like a Gallic G to me Jim,

The eyebrows are the same as the Worms helmet anyway. Not like an F. Although no carrying handle.

Yup, that's a G. The eyebrows in the original looked triple like an F's to me. :roll:

Jim, they say that the I century B.C. helmet cippus is from the time of the civil war after Iulius Caesar' death.

Vale,

Any chance of you visiting that museum? Apart from the stone plaque, the museum also has a few plumbatae that I want to see images of...

Not so soon I'm afraid..., anyway on next february I'll go to northern Italy and I'll try to deviate a little bit eastward to do a quick visit to the Aquileia museum for a reportage.

Vale,

Cesare had many troubles to get those pics and to have permission to publish them over Internet.
