It might go well with a musculata and a parazonium, as would this helmet.

Quote:The type of helmet in the OP is neither Thracian nor Attic, but is a unique and purely Hellenistic species.What is it called as a type so we can call it something?
I don't know exactly... I can't remember what Dintsis calls it (I recall him calling it some sort of Attic hybrid or something) but it is in a class of its own. Even with Dintsis' fairly comprehensive classification, he omits many representational sources and also fails to include many different specimens in his classifications. Perhaps someone should go through again in the future and "re-classify" many different helmets.

Oh, yeah, I've seen this relief before, but I didn't really know where to place it, to be honest. Without more detail, the helmets can't really be classified all that well, though they could easily be this type. Still, do you suppose that all the figures wearing lorica musculata and those helmets represented are tribunes?

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
