what exact variants of celtic helmets are they wearing?

June 8, 2020

did alexandermb already done some eatsern celtic helmets variants (derived from the Port type) like the ones found in Slovenia, Croatia or even in Poland ? Its so cool to see Thracian and Illyrian influences on them.

I think Ive red some studies that some late seleucid helmets worn by thorakitai and thureophoroi and even by phalangites in late hellenistic period (that I and many other considered just a usual variation of the thraco-attic) are also the result of the galatians influence:

I wondered if the origin of the hellenistic Konos type helmets could be again traced to the celtic designs like many other other weaponry and armoury. That would be ridiculous.

I think the late popular hellenistic Ascalon and /or Sidon type designs could use at least one more variant to do it justice that could use as starting point this existing interesting Thraco-attic variant with some modifications on the neck guard and brim.

The russians guy from Natus ob Imperium mod pretty nailed the design Im hinting at:

some wargaming.net stuff etc

Could there be the celts again to spawn a very popular helmet design like the hellenistic Konos ?

It's normal polygon modelling with a cylinder and extrusions

Normal as in good old polygon modeling ? I would love to see the wireframe of this one to get a minimal idea of the geometry :blink:

Another interpretation of Pyrrus helmet and based in some coins Attic? Seleukos I

Pontic helmets.(?)

Indo Greeks.

I think the Pyrus helmet illustration was inspired by these eastern hellenistic busts attached bellow. I dont know what Pyrhus has to do with them.

On the presumably Pontic helmet: where did you find that second coin and why you hinted it might be Pontic ?

I sent you a personal message. In general Im gathering some nice resources to starts doing my own models. That chalchidian seem very well done and accurate.

I cant seem to find those variants on his artstation and either here on the forums on the Hellenic helmets topic. Only the attached ones which are somewhat older era.

Thoughts on the Syrian archers of the Seleucids wearing trousers and scale armor?
