Ancient Greek Helmets: A Complete Guide and Catalog
The most comprehensive study ever produced on the subject of ancient Greek armor, tracing the development of the ancient Greek helmet from the Bronze Age through the Hellenistic Period, cataloging over 2100 ancient Greek helmets in both public and private collections, examining every aspect of the design, manufacture, use, and cultural relevance of the military helmet in ancient Greek culture. Over 700 helmets are depicted in large full color photo-realistic illustrations.
Ancient Greek helmets are emblematic of the culture that created them at a time when entire nations were often obliterated by more powerful adversaries. Yet, the Greeks survived and thrived. Their armor was the product of a culture that respected free thought, innovation, foreign trade, and scientific inquiry unhindered by religious dogma. In their elegant and effective designs, we see the accumulation of these unique factors: individuality, industry, pursuit of excellence, and the desire to protect the lives and property of men that cherished these values. by Randall Hixenbaugh illustrated by Alexander Valdman edited by Sharon Herson Hard Cover 738 pages (275 color pages). 712 original color illustrations 144 figures cataloging 2153 helmets 8 1/2 x 11 in.
