I seem to remember seeing one in a book on Carthage, but it was much more worn than this. Really good stuff! |

"Where did you pick this up?" I was extremely fortunate to aquire this one and missed out on several lesser opportunities over 5 years of following this same retailer. Thanks for asking anyway.

I apologize for the stupidity of my question. I read "Carthiginian" as "Corinthian" as in a corinthian helmet. Well, it DOES sort of look like one of those Italo-corinthian monstrosities. Doug |
