FfFfFfFF 58,136 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Archaeologists dated a Corinthian helmet to the sixth century BC, a time when the Greek city-states clashed with the mighty Persian Empire. According to the Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA), the Corinthian helmet was made in the Corinthian style, named after the Greek city of Corinth. Although it is cracked and rusted after spending about 2,600 years in the water, you can still make out an intricate, peacock-like pattern above its eyes. Kobi Sharvit, director of the Marine Unit of the Israel Antiquities Authority, said: “The helmet probably belonged to a Greek warrior stationed on one of the Greek fleet’s warships that participated in the naval conflict against the Persians who ruled the country at the time.” Source Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
