Some questions for you historians out there


Recommended Posts

First of , thank you for taking the time to read this. The questions might seem silly but Im just curious. Also i know that standardization of goods wans't a thing at the time so that migth explain some things

My first question is why some call the phrygian helmet thracian? I tought the thracian was this:

I also the same for the attic and the thracian:

Another thing, I have the impression that both of these last helmets wer phased out for the pilos and the konos helmets while the phrygian remained popular, is this true? If so , any theories why?

 

 

 

 

One would think the  thracian helmets , specially like the one  found in the prodromi grave were the epitome of protection and visibility, so much that millenia later , people came up with the burgonet and the morion with seem to harken back to these.

Also is it correct to say that multiple types of helmets kinda merged in the late hellenistic period? I base my assumption on these images, which are obviously beotian helmets with an eastern flair :

Also what's up with this one? I have seen some frescos that depict these , i'm guessing that they were easier and cheaper to mass produce.
