After studying history for 50 years, one should always don the “Fuzzy, pompous helmet” because that’s the one that required everyone on your side to die before you.

As a history buff, I find this interesting. Thanks for posting.

"The example found near the Aegadian Islands comes from the site of the Battle of the Aegates, fought on 10 March 241 BC, a naval conflict and the final and deciding battle of the First Punic War."

I wonder if they found a skull inside this helmet? If not, one can easily imagine some Roman Marine looking over the side of the ship and accidently losing his gear.

Begging the general’s pardon, sir, but that doesn’t look intact.

What a marvelous find. The history of Carthage is remarkable, doomed to inevitable annihilation from Rome. They put up good fights along the way.
