Corinthian Helmet
The Corinthian type of helmet appeared at the end of the 8th c. BC and remained in use until the Classical period. This example represents an advanced stage in the development of the type and dates to the second half of the 6th c. BC. The development was mainly in the shape, which became progressively more spherical in order to fit better on the head, with larger nose-guard, cheek-pieces and neck-guard. Similar helmets were worn by the Greeks during the Persian Wars.
