Commentary


Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous le proposons à la vente. C’est un cas rare de représentation de casque antique.
This type seems much rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we have offered it for sale. It is a rare case of representation of an ancient helmet.

Historical background


SICILY - CAMPANIA

(344-336 BC)

For nearly three centuries, Carthaginians and Greeks, then Greeks and Romans clashed in Sicily, either directly or indirectly. All sides resorted to mercenaries, particularly Syracuse. When Timoleon arrived in Syracuse in 344 BC, the belligerents called in Campanian mercenaries who eventually settled near Entella and Aetna (Catania).
