Helmet of Boeotian Type, and Belt
This late Hellenistic helmet combines the distinctive features of two separate types generally known as Attic and Boeotian. Both cavalrymen and gladiators appear to have worn comparable helmets. This particular example and the belt complementing it were reportedly discovered in the former gladiators' barracks in Rome according to the sale catalogue of the collection of the painter and art dealer Attilio Simonetti (1843–1925).
