Apulo-Corinthian Helmet (Primary Title)
Unknown (Artist)
This South Italian variant of a Corinthian helmet was surmounted by crests of horsehair or feathers attached to the three bronze prongs projecting from the top. The Corinthian helmet was popular throughout the Greek world because it was easily made from a single sheet of hammered bronze and hid almost the entire face of its wearer, presenting his enemy with a fearsome visage.
