Fernando,
Wonderful stuff thank you.
I have a request..
Gladius, Vol XVII (1986):57-62
A Roman Legionary Helmet found in Poland
Maria Jaźdiźewska
The Picture of the helmet in the .pdf file is almost invisible, do you have a better copy with a clearer picture of the helmet? A Coolus C with Port bei Nidau cheek pieces sounds fascinating!

Adrian,
the helmet was also published in a German journal. I have emailed you a copy. The photos are still bad but there is a line drawing which may be useful. I believe that a good photo of the helmet was in the catalogue of the "Vandal" exhibition a few years ago. If you need this, please send a pm and I will dig for the catalogue.
Regards,

Not what I thought it would be that's for sure! In the article (in English) the author likens the helmet to the Schaan Coolus C, but on seeing the piece it is definately of the Agen type.
Thanks to Jens and Fernando for all of the information and pictures supplied!

Bravo to the publishers for putting the journal online for free! Its a very useful resource.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have
a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.

Is Gladius mainly an archeological orientated journal or does it also welcome articles about the daily life in the army (not focused on arms and armours but more the social/cultural aspects in the army).

I think thew best answer is that you check the guidelinies, the summaries of recent volumes and the papers themselves, all freely available online. You'll find everything from detailed metallurgical analysis and typologicla studies to tactical problems, iconographical issues and historical discussions.
