Nice job! Where was the original found? Any idea why they put the horns on it?

it is conserved in the museum Fantini of Monterenzio (Bologna, Italy) recovered in the diggings of Montebibele.




Many helmets with applications of horns exist:

Why a joke? I don't undestand...

There are a lot of use of "horns" in early period:

Hephestus,

Nice work!! Only a little question... Why have you done it in iron and not in bronze/brass?

The rim with the cording are aplied or embossed?

Altra volta, un bellisimo lavoro.

Chi vidiamo a Tarraco Viva?

Great work! I've been waiting to see somebody with horns on their head!

Do you have anything to wear with it?

Ave Lucius,
thanks for the appreciation,
I have constructed in iron why they are not still well equipped for large fusions. The edge is applied. A crossing of 3 spins (3 of iron and 1 of brass.)

Si, ci vediamo a Tarraco Viva, they are expectant to know to you.

By "fusions", do you mean casting, as in melting bronze and pouring it into a mold? Because helmets were not made that way. They were hammered from sheet bronze just like iron helmets. So, go for it!

Great work, by the way! I DO like the big horns!

Here, another horns, originally for a corinthian greek helmet.

Horns were made by Jose Manuel Pastor, and here are probed over a deepeka's Montefortino.

Ave,
The fusion of the bronze to lost wax has been a experiment that we have made 4 years ago with a helmet from provocator. The result has been good but much heavy one. The thickness of the cap was of 3 milimeter. Heavy but much meticulous one. Sure the beating of the bronze sheet will be the next job. Thanks for the precious information and your councils.
