Quote:I'm not sure what the "Italo-Corinthian" looks like.
Try my page here, for the type of helmet known variously as "Italo-Corinthian," "Apulo-Corinthian," "Etrusco-Corinthian," "Pseudo-Corinthian," "Corinthian parade helmet," or "Corinthian helmet... in a grievously distorted form."
Quote:Stepping back for a moment to the Domitius Ahenobarbus relief, it has always seemed to me that the helmet on the right is an Italio-Corinthian of some sort.
I don't think I've ever seen an Apulo-Corinthian type helmet with that volute on the side, or a crest that springs directly from the bowl.
