CIRCA 2ND-1ST CENTURY B.C.

This beautiful example features incised details including the rosette finial peaking above the rounded dome and bands above the hatched rope border around the lower edge and the flaring brim. Of particular note is also the applique of Alexander the Great centered above the warrior’s face, the conqueror recognizable by his characteristic anastole. For a related example see Abb. 4-5, p. 321 in A. Bottini, et al., Antike Helme; for the type see op. cit., pp. 318-322.
