Hi all, I am wondering about crests for Corinthian and other Greek helmets.
In the re-enactment world a lot of helmets these days come with crests, but in the finds in museums there are but a few helmets which have either thw remains of holes for "crests", or attachment points for crests...
Is there any consensus about the usage of crests by Hoplitai ? were they widely used ? did all of them use a crest ?
i am wondering about this since in museum finds i dont see that much proof on crests, while on earthenware i do, which confuses me a little.
M.VIB.M.
