What kind of helmet is this??
Hello,
I was browsing the internet looking for intresting and not important information concerning ancient greeks when I stumbled upon this picture of a greek helmet variation, I've never seen before. The image was linked to the macedon preview for Roma Surrectum 2. I was hoping someone would be able to inform me on what the variation of helmet this is. Unfortunaltly the article the images are on, it does not tell me so i'm here to ask you all. Thanks ahead.

It looks like the Thracian one that the Macedonian Peltastai in EB2 have except the cheek protectors have been elongated for the neck and any sort of delicate facial hair.

It's an old school Thracian helmet that has shown up in a few places - most prominently on some pottery from the Greek Classical period. It lacks the reversing peak, but the general shape is the indicator. Those cheekpieces, while very cool, don't appear in our time frame.

What time frame are the neckguard cheek pieces from?? Thanks for your help btw

Something like mid-5th to mid-4th century.
