Interesting helmet? - ROMan - 09-19-2014 Does anyone have an opinion about this guy's helmet? Would it be correct to label him a murmillo? [attachment=10782]IMAGE.jpg[/attachment] Interesting helmet? - john m roberts - 09-19-2014 Definitely a murmillo - big shield, straight sword, single, short greave. He's wearing one of the late, exaggerated helms that comes down to the shoulders and has a strange, high crest. I would like to see a profile picture of it. Gladiator helmets got more and more bizarre as time went on. Interesting helmet? - S.

I agree with john m roberts, is almost certainly a Murmillo Concerning the helmet, the terracotta seems to represent - a little exaggerating - a helmet like the one housed at the Neues Museum in Berlin (dated 2nd century AD). Best S.M. Interesting helmet? - Olaf - 09-20-2014 I agree with the previous posters completely. The Berlin helmet would put it in the 2nd to 3rd century. I think the high ridge is supposed to show a feather crest or plumes at the side. Anyway nice figurine that I had not seen before. Interesting helmet? - Bernard Howard - 01-23-2015 Looks like the helmet usually used by ancient warriors such as gladiator if I am not wrong. |
