| Summary: | A bronze-decorated iron helmet excavated at Sardis in 1987 may be dated to the mid-sixth century B. C. and may be associated with the capture and partial sack of Sardis by Cyrus the Great of Persia. The skull-piece design, unusual for helmets of Greece and the Near East before Roman times, resembles that of helmets of the second century A. D. and later, Strebenhelme and Bandhelme. The helmet presumably belonged to a soldier of either Croesus or Cyrus, but it is not clearly identifiable with Lydia, Persia, or other regions that supplied auxiliaries for Lydian and Persian armies. |
