~ Female face/helmet mask.

Culture: Roman

Period: Middle Imperial Period

Date: 2nd half of A.D. 2nd century

Place of origin: River Olt near Resca , Romania

Medium: Sheet copper, embossed and chased.

▪︎ From the source: Face helmets like this one were worn by cavalry units of the Roman army for tournament-like cavalry games. This front part of a helmet shows a female face, the hair parted in the middle. The head is adorned with an oak wreath and a band from which a lunula pendant hangs over the forehead. Punched inscriptions name two different owners of the helmet (Priscus and Vitalis).
