Evolution of the Attic Helmet???
#6
These Roman-made cavalry helmets tend to look more bucket-shaped than what we see from the Hellenistic era. Greek helmets often featured neck guards with a deep curvature which most Roman helmets seem to lack. Maybe the Italo-Celtic helmets reflect a cruder level of craftsmanship compared to the Hellenistic eastern armorers' skill level ?
