Helmet Roman or Carthaginian?

[Dan Diffendale]

The chance that of all the possible soldiers who could have worn that helmet it would be a Roman tribune is very small. You might as well look at a xiphos found near Macedonia and declare it the sword of an officer of the Hetairoi.

I'd more likely say, given the dating and location, that you might as well look at a xiphos found in India and dated to the 5th century and declare it the sword of an officer of the Hetairoi.
