EDITORS COMMENTS
The Crosby Garrett Helmet: A Glimpse into Ancient Roman Cavalry Sports Events". This print showcases the magnificent Crosby Garrett helmet, a remarkable artifact from the late 1st to 2nd century AD. Crafted in bronze and standing at an impressive height of 40.7 cm, this cavalry parade helmet is divided into two sections - the helmet itself and an intricately designed mask. Once worn during hippika gymnasia, or cavalry sports events, this ceremonial headpiece was not intended for combative use but rather served as a symbol of prestige and grandeur. In 2010, it fetched a staggering GBP 2.3 million at auction due to its historical significance and exquisite craftsmanship. The intricate details on this helmet are truly awe-inspiring. Adorned with a phrygian style cap featuring delicate curls and embellished with a majestic griffin motif, it reflects the artistic prowess of ancient Rome's skilled craftsmen. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor of Roman military parades. The youthfulness captured in every detail evokes images of troops proudly marching through ancient streets while donning these elaborate helmets. The Crosby Garrett Helmet serves as both an archaeological treasure and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome. Its presence reminds us of the significant role that ceremony played within their armed forces – celebrating bravery, skill, and unity among soldiers who dedicated their lives to protecting their empire.
