Summary

[edit]
Description Horsemen of the Roman army wore a parade helmet like this during demonstrations, which were part of their training. The helmet protected the head against the blows of spears. Possibly this face of woman represents an Amazon. The band on the forehead (torques) was supposed to symbolize Amazons' "barbaric" character. Bronze. 100-200 AD. From Nola. Now in the British Museum, inv. 1824,0407.10. Picture taken at the Oog in oog met de Romeinen (Eye to Eye with the Romans) Exhibition in the Gallo-Romeins Museum of Tongres.
