EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Crosby Garrett helmet, a remarkable artifact from the late 1st to 2nd century AD. Crafted in bronze and consisting of two sections - the helmet and mask - this cavalry parade helmet is truly a sight to behold. Standing at an impressive height of 40.7 cm, it exudes both power and elegance. The Crosby Garrett helmet holds great historical significance as it was not intended for combative use but rather worn during hippika gymnasia, which were cavalry sports events in ancient Rome. This ceremonial headpiece fetched a staggering GBP 2.3 million when sold in 2010. Intricately designed with exquisite details, the helmet features a phrygian style cap adorned with curls that frame the face of a youthful male profile. A prominent griffin embellishment further enhances its grandeur. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image, we are transported back to ancient times where armies marched proudly wearing such regal helmets. It serves as a reminder of the valor and strength displayed by those who served in the armed forces during classical Rome. Capturing both artistry and history within its frame, this photograph allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship behind this extraordinary piece while immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of Roman culture and tradition.
