Stumbled across this, so I thought I'd post it (after I picked up my jaw off the desk, or am I being naive?):

Quote:Embossed inscriptions name two different owners of the helmet: on the outside of the right cheek as well as on the inside of the left: T(urma) PII PRISCI helmet of Priscus, who serves in the turma (cavalry unit) of Pius; beneath the chin: VITALIS T(urma) CRISPINI - helmet of Vitalis from the unit of Crispinus.
