Corinthian and Illyrian Helmets in Glasgow Museums - Ross Cowan - 02-27-2010 Glasgow Museums has five ancient bronze helmets in its collections: two Corinthians, an Illyrian, a Montelparo and a Montefortino (see Ancient Warfare I.3 for details). The helmets are kept in storage, but I was able to take some photos while working in the Arms and Armour collection back in 2004/5.I have posted sets of the helmets here: [url:lq7do1ow]http://www.flickr.com/photos/rosscowan/collections/72157623518810836/[/url] (set of second Corinthian to follow) [url:lq7do1ow]http://www.flickr.com/photos/rosscowan/collections/72157623391665359/[/url] Cheers, R! Re: Corinthian and Illyrian Helmets in Glasgow Museums - Gaius Julius Caesar - 02-27-2010 There is a corinthian helmet of similar style in the Aberdeen Art Gallery war memorial. It is not in as good a condition, but definately of a similar if not older age. Nice pictures! Re: Corinthian and Illyrian Helmets in Glasgow Museums - Ross Cowan - 02-27-2010 Quote:Nice pictures! Thanks! I'm not sure about the date of the Scott bequest Corinthian - mid-7th cent. BC? Much sharper pics of the Illyrian-type helmet and the Burrell Corinthian can be found in Ancient Warfare I.3.

Kind regards Re: Corinthian and Illyrian Helmets in Glasgow Museums - Ross Cowan - 03-10-2010 And the final set, a Corinthian helmet in the Burrell Collection: [url:1tmdh2lb]http://www.flickr.com/photos/rosscowan/sets/72157623466548397/[/url] Again, not the best photos, but they may be of interest to some.
