A Roman visor helmet recently discovered near Nijmegen, Holland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 September 2012
Extract
The beautiful visor helmet illustrated in plates VI and VII is a recent addition to the fine collection of Roman antiquities belonging to Mr. G. M. Kam of Nijmegen, Holland, to whom I am indebted for photographs and detailed particulars. The helmet was recovered from a gravel-bed on the left bank of the river Waal below Nijmegen. In the inside of the helmet among the clay and gravel lay a pair of bronze cheek-pieces overlaid with silver, which must have belonged to a helmet of a different pattern, and a number of melon-shaped beads of blue glass (fig. 35).
