Corinthian helmet with plume

Corinthian helmet with plume from the 7th century BC - this helmet made of black-dyed steel features the typical shape of a helmet with a long front part, a nasal shield, and a curved neck guard.

Richly decorated on the sides, it has symbols of a horse and a snake, and on the forehead, a depiction of a woman's head made of brass. Additionally, a large bright plume is attached using the metal plates affixed to the helmet, including a padded cap.

The Corinthian helmet, which originated in the 7th century BC, continues to shape the image of the typical Greek helmet to this day. Its origin traces back to the city of Corinth. It quickly became an integral part of Greek hoplite armor and spread to Italy, where it became one of the most common helmets used in the army of the Roman Republic with some variations.
