Quote:Salve,Ah, that one. I wondered about that side boss in the past. It also has a different crest attachment; twist on rather than slide on. I don't see any side rings though and the silver bosses usually covered rivets and not rings.
The Centurion's helmet is the Gallic 'F' from Sisak in Croatia. H Russell Robinson Illustrated it in the Armour of Imperial Rome, but the photograph was of usch poor quality that he mistook the side-rings for the crest as rivets for the protective peak. It is illustrated in the Croatian Museum catalogue, but I cannot seem to download the image on this forum. Any suggestions?
