Italische Helme

Using the example of the Italian helmets, the area of influence of the Etruscans in Picenum, in Upper Italy and in the Alpine region as well as the interactions between the different cultural groups can be traced.
The Etruscans developed the helmet type with a circumferential brim in the 7th century BC; in the course of the 6th century a throat was added to secure the crest. The Negau helmet was typical of the Archaic period. It disappeared in Central Italy in the 4th century, but remained in use in the Alpine region until the 1st century BC. In the Tyrolean region and in eastern Switzerland, the helmets were not found as prestige goods in graves, as was usually the case, but in sacrificial sites, often badly damaged by fire. Similar to Greece, such helmets captured in war were a high-value consecration gift.he Italian helmets, the area of influence of the Etruscans in Picenum, in Upper Italy and in the Alpine region as well as the interactions between the different cultural groups can be traced.
