Quote:What about helmets like these two:Yes, the first link is the helmet Matthew mentioned - the Thielenhofen cavalry helmet. Remember seeing these in Gladiator ? I have my own picture of it below (notice the etching on the browguard) :

They look very like "Attic" helmets, as well as the helmets depicted on the reliefs.
I wish I could find the old thread that shows a modern repro of this helmet. It was silver and gold in color with a feathered crest if I'm not mistaken. I was tempted to buy it but I think it was WAY out of my price range :roll:
