In his classic book Robinson gives discription of Imperial Gallic J helmet that strongly contradicts same book illustrations and other fotos of the single survivng example. He speaks of browband, many bosses, crest-holder hooks traces etc. None of those can actually be seen, and it seems like he discribes another helmet.
To add I have seen some reconstructions of this helmet that rather follow Robinson's text than actual fotos.
Does anyone have a clue if it was just a mistake on Robinson's side followed by reconstructors or we see wrong illustrations?
