EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Archaic bronze helmet of Corinthian type, dated to around 700-675 BC, is a testament to the advanced metallurgical skills and artistic creativity of ancient Greeks during the 7th and 6th centuries BC. Discovered in Greece, this helmet is now proudly displayed at the Museum of Cycladic and Ancient Greek Art in Athens. The Corinthian helmet, named after the ancient Greek city of Corinth, was a type of helmet used primarily by the Greek hoplites, or heavily armed infantry soldiers. This helmet was designed to protect the head and neck from enemy attacks during battle. The helmet's distinctive features include the high crest, the cheek pieces that covered the jaw and the ears, and the eye slits that allowed for peripheral vision. The intricate decorative elements on this helmet, such as the raised ridges, spiral designs, and the stylized animal heads, demonstrate the artistic sophistication of the ancient Greeks. The helmet's surface has been expertly crafted, with the bronze polished to a mirror-like shine. The helmet's historical significance is immense, as it provides valuable insights into the military equipment and uniform of ancient Greek warriors. It also reflects the cultural achievements of the ancient Greeks during the Archaic period, a time of great artistic and intellectual development in Europe. The helmet's preservation is a testament to the skill of ancient Greek metallurgists and the dedication of modern-day conservators. It continues to inspire awe and admiration, reminding us of the rich history and artistic legacy of ancient Greece.
