Hi Jasper,<br>
<br>
I don't know the passage concerning this helmet in <i> Verleden Land</i> but found the piece in Klumbach, <i> Römische Helme aus Niedergermanien</i> (Köln 1974), who gives a technical description and the following additional information (possibly cribbed) about it:<br>
<br>
- the icon between "HIR" and "PIRON" "...can probably be explained as an anchor";<br>
<br>
- "The ship (the Hexeris, that is) probably belonged to the 1000-unit[Einheiten]-strong transportation fleet[Transportflotte] that Germanicus ordered to build for the campaign of 16 AD (Tac., Ann. 2,6), and that got lost in a storm off the Dutch coast on the way home (Tac., Ann. 2,23.24)."<br>
<br>
- the helmet is kept in the RMO Leiden, Inv. g 1949/5.1. (year of discovery?!)<br>
<br>
Reference is given to: Bogaers, Twee vondsten uit de Maas in midden-Limburg. 1. De romeinse helm van Buggenum. In: Ber. ROB 9 (1959), 85 ff. (90 A 3).<br>
<br>
Besides, is "the only other six" the one mentioned in Dessau, ILS 2835 ("ANTONIUS LONGUS C[reverse] VI OPE")?<br>
<br>
Greetings,<br>
<br>
