Quote:Of the unpublished helmets you are working with, how many have secure provenances? Any new examples of Thraco-Attic helmets from the Hellenistic world, and if so, from where and what context(s)?
Not many have secure provenances, but mostly it isn't difficult to reconstruct the provenance. ;-) )
A thraco-attic helmet? I think I know which helmet you mean, but I hate this term, because there is absolutely no reason to call them "thracian". These helmets will be subject of a whole study, in which I'll try to prove from the perspective of construction that they are direct descendants of the "normal" attic helmet. My catalogue lists 16 helmets and a couple of fragments.
