Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 07/19/2013 5:35 pm Superb exhibition I am sure, thank you for sharing! If you get a chance to go again, or visit any other Roman sites in Serbia (and there are many) please post here. The helmets are fantastic. In my opinion, the elaborateness is more seen in the "Barbarians" than the regular Roman army. However by the 4th century "Barbarians" were enlisted into the Roman army under their own "Barbarian" leader, whilst before that they were auxillaries under a Roman leader. So a "Barbarian" would have worn that elaborate helmet, yet still could have served for Rome. The "Barbarians" I have in mind are the Ostrogoths. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrogoths The helmets give a better impression of "Barbarian" Bling than the sorry state of the East Angle Helmet of King Raedwald, from the Sutton Hoo burial. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A..._East_Anglia Report this Post to the Staff
mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 576 Posts	Posted 07/20/2013 03:59 am Yes there are many Roman sites in Serbia some are even counted as one of the most preserved in Europe (after Pompeii ofc ) But Iam more a medieval fan so I would reader like to see all medieval sites. Unfortunately there is not enough money in state budget for researching all archeological sites (roman and medieval) so many stay in ruins and they are on target of robbers of antic artifacts. I dont believe these helmets are worn by barbarians, especially because they are made of gold (gold plated) so I guess they are owned by high ranked officer in roman army maybe even emperor. And helmet was probably ceremonial and not used in battle.

mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 576 Posts	Posted 07/22/2013 07:25 am btw many roman emperors were born on territory of Serbia. I think like 12 or 15 maybe even more if you count all emperors during the Crisis of the Third Century (we call it age of military emperors). That would mean that roman provinces in these areas give more emperors then any other. (if you dont count Italy ofc) My collection on Numista page: 7500 different coins and counting... https://en.numista.com/echanges/pro...hp?id=129798 Report this Post to the Staff
