Boeotian helmet

Boeotian helmet

The Boeotian helmet was a type of helmet that was used in Classical Greece and originated in Boeotia ["Terms such as Illyrian and attic are used in archeology for convenience to denote a particular type of helmet and do not imply its origin"(See page 60 ,Peter Connoly, Greece & Rome at War,ISBN-10: 185367303X)] . The use of the helmet was not as widespread as other helmets of the same period such as the Corinthian helmet or Phrygian helmet, and as such it is not as familiar today.
