Quote:His 'conclusive redating' of the Deir-el-Medineh helmet to the 'first half of the 5th century to the first half of the 7th century' is at 41 minutes 36 seconds or thereabouts. I seem to have remembered this is as '6th century', which is close enough! Still not sure that I'm convinced though, even so...
I evidently missed the second part of his dating comment. That said, his dating is based on examples of the Leiden variant which he suggests is contemporary or closely subsequent to the Deir-el-Medineh helmet. However, he also seems to suggest that, on stylistic grounds, the dating of the Deir-el-Medineh helmet to the 4th century is plausible, although he may be referring to an earlier theory; it is not entirely clear. It seems to me that the wrap-around cheek/ear pieces, as found also on the Deurne and Berkasovo helmets, are the key. The Deurne helmet is certainly Constantinian. Do we know from other evidence when this type of protection for the side of the head went out of fashion?
