Roman copper alloy helmet crest
Solid stand with a splayed base decorated with two incised grooves. The shank flares out to a sharp rib which is also decorated with incised lines although these appear to be the result of lather-turning rather than a deliberate attempt at decoration. The shank then bifurcates and is pierced by a circular hole 2.5 in diameter. Helmet crest from either Coolus Type E (Robinson 1975, Pls 60, 66-8) or Coolus Type G (Robinson 1975, Pls 81-7, See also Figs 141-3) Condition: one side of the shank broken off in line of hole.
