Hello,
I'm wondering if there have been crest holders, similar to the pins used on imperial Roman helmets, found in a non-Roman, Greco-Hellenistic context.
The Sidon helmet would appear to have such a holder based on this frescoe : http://www.ancientbattles.com/thureopho ... phoros.jpg
Does anyone not think that the soldier is using a holder or pin to attach the crest ?
Thanks in advance.
