¹ Otto Wittmann, Jr., the Director, kindly provided the photographs and help on various points in connection with this note. Prof. Henri Seyrig of Beirut and Dumbarton Oaks was most generous with information about the finds at Horns and about the possible connections of the objects published here with them. Prof. Frank Brown of Yale was likewise. The Libraries of the Departments of Coins and Medals and Greek and Roman Antiquities of the British Museum afforded the facilities to prepare this paper.

² The height is 12 ⅜ in.; the maximum length, front to back, is 11 ¾ in.

³ It is not impossible that the rivets remaining were not for rosettes but for attaching a face-mask. One would not necessarily need another attachment behind the centre of the browpiece.

⁴ Mr. William J. Young of the Research Laboratory, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, gave freely of his time and wide experience in the technical matters which arose. One of the cheekpieces had become detached above the hinge; thanks to his assistance, this was easily resoldered. The main part of the helmet was cast in one piece.

⁶ The present owner has furnished the photograph illustrated here; his help in this and other respects is acknowledged with gratitude. The jug is 8 in. high and has a diameter of 3½ in. at the bottom. There is a beaded spiral in the centre of the bottom.

⁸ One of the oldest Greek forms of this helmet is worn by Athena on old-style tetradrachms of Athens: Daremberg-Saglio IV, Galea, fig. 3446; cf. also figs. 3448 f.

¹³ The presence of this helmet in examples 21 and 30 of Couissin's reconstructions supports this; the first is late first to second centuries A.D., and the second is third century A.D. This helmet has gone out of fashion in the small friezes on the Arch of Constantine; in the ‘Siege of Verona’ soldiers wear the helmet worn by the Maxentian Dea Roma (Giuliano, o.c. pl. 37). It is like a British fireman's helmet.
