Corinthian helmet

The first archaeological object that Josip Broz Tito received as a gift seemed to anticipate his political rise with its symbolic. In Athens on June 2, 1954, King Paul of the Hellenes, coming from a country with rich classical literature where helmets were symbols of power and invulnerability, gave to Tito an antique Corinthian helmet, from the end of the 7th – beginning of 6th century BC.
