EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Crosby Garrett helmet, a remarkable artifact from the late 1st to 2nd century AD. Crafted in bronze, this cavalry parade helmet consists of two sections - the helmet and mask. Standing at an impressive height of 40.7 cm, it is now part of a private collection. The Crosby Garrett helmet holds great historical significance as it was not intended for combative use but rather worn during hippika gymnasia, which were cavalry sports events in ancient Rome. Its design features a distinctive Phrygian style cap adorned with intricate curls and a striking griffin motif on the face mask. In 2010, this extraordinary piece fetched an astounding GBP 2.3 million at auction, highlighting its immense value and desirability among collectors and enthusiasts alike. The ceremonial nature of this parade helmet reflects its association with military traditions and festivities within the Roman army. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor and grandeur that surrounded ancient Rome's armed forces. The Crosby Garrett helmet serves as a testament to their dedication to both function and aesthetics in their military attire. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured every detail of this iconic artifact, allowing us to appreciate its beauty while also delving into its rich historical context. It stands as a symbol of youthfulness, classical artistry, and the enduring legacy left behind by one of history's most formidable civilizations - Ancient Rome.
