Lion.Kanzen Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Attic Imperial. most of the helmets on the reliefs are not realistic. They are more interpretations of reality with a Hellenistic and aesthetic sense. I have already investigated this debate enough, there is no arctic 100% faithful or realistic. And what is perceptible in archeology is different. Roman generals and high officials preferred Hellenistic details on their helmets. I am convinced that the helmet that is shown to us in the film the passion of Christ by the soldier fictionary "Abenader". It has the Celtic adaptations, in the cheek-pieces. Similar to this without falling into the Hollywood cliché. They are worn by various generals in HBO's Rome. Again art vs archeology, example of the Trajan column, a normal Gallic Roman helmet with what is found in museums.

AIEND Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 In fact, there are quite a lot of real Roman helmets unearthed, and I even feel that there is no need to refer to art works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
