GREEK HELMET/ Corinthian helmet with black natural hair plum
The Corinthian helmet originated in ancient Greece and took its name from the
city-state of Corinth. It was a helmet made of bronze which in its later styles
covered the entire head and neck, with slits for the eyes and mouth. A large
curved projection protected the nape of the neck.Out of combat, a Greek hoplite
would wear the helmet tipped upward for comfort. This practice gave rise to a
series of variant forms in Italy, where the slits were almost closed, since the
helmet was no longer pulled over the face but worn cap-like. Although the
classical Corinthian helmet fell out of use among the Greeks in favour of more
open types, the Italo-Corinthian types remained in use until the 1st century AD,
being used, among others, by the Roman army.Mycenaean helmet made with
