Hello, I was curious to know if anybody knew of any examples of Attic helmets complete with brow plates from the classical era or hellenistic age? I have seen many examples of attic helmets without brow plates, that resemble more of chalcidian helms without their nasal guards, but I have yet to ever see one with the infamous brow plate. Though they are depicted often in Greek/Mediterranean art of the period, I remember seeing one on a vase that showed the warrior with what looks like scales on the bowl of the helm and his cheek guards are pushed upwards. Some of the coins of the Diadochi also show more examples. If anybody knows of any I would greatly appreciate it.
