EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Crosby Garrett helmet, a remarkable artifact from the late 1st-2nd century AD. Crafted in bronze, this cavalry parade helmet is divided into two sections: the helmet and mask. Standing at an impressive height of 40.7 cm, it is now part of a private collection. 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 an astonishing GBP 2.3 million when sold in 2010. Intricately designed with elements like a phrygian style cap and adorned with curls, this helmet features a striking griffin motif that adds to its allure. The attention to detail is evident throughout, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of Roman artisans. As we delve into this image's details, we are transported back to classical times where youth and valor were celebrated on military occasions. The presence of armed forces and troops further emphasizes the importance of ceremony and unity within ancient Rome. Through this photograph captured by eChristies Images (out of copyright), Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical context behind this extraordinary piece of armor.
