Quote:Quote:Likewise, I am with you on the 'de-based corinthian' helmets (also called "Etrusco-Corinthian" because of their popularity there).It's worth noting that only one has been found in Etruria (Vulci, now in the British Museum), and that provenance is not beyond doubt.
The latter makes the point that a popular etruscan helmet would certainly be in use in Carthage, given their strong trade/alliance ties.
Besides that, there are only three of this type that come from other than Southern Italy: one from Friuli in northern Italy, one from Krsko in Slovenia, and one, questionably from Athens.

There are others from iconographic sources. Off the top of my head, there is one on the Pergamene weapons reliefs.

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
