EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Crosby Garrett helmet, a remarkable artifact from the late 1st-2nd century AD. Crafted in bronze, this cavalry parade helmet stands at an impressive height of 40.7 cm and is divided into two sections: the helmet itself and an intricately designed mask. Once sold for a staggering GBP 2.3 million in 2010, this extraordinary piece was not intended for combative use but rather worn during hippika gymnasia – cavalry sports events. Its Phrygian style cap and military-inspired features make it a symbol of ancient Rome's grandeur and power. The ceremonial nature of this helmet is evident through its elaborate design, featuring griffins and curls that exude elegance and youthfulness. It represents the classical era with its exquisite craftsmanship, capturing the essence of Roman culture during that time. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where armies marched proudly on parade grounds, troops ready to defend their empire. The Crosby Garrett helmet serves as a reminder of the dedication and valor displayed by those who served in ancient Rome's armed forces. Through this photograph captured by eChristies Images and made available by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance held within this extraordinary piece of armor.
