Corinthian helmet

The Corinthian bronze helmet from the early 5th century BC comes from Sicily and is the showpiece of the Ruhr Museum’s archaeological collections, which include Egyptian and Roman antiquities as well as prehistoric findings and antiquities from Greater Greece. A special focus – due to the region – is on metal objects, especially from Luristan, which were of particular interest to the industrial patrons and collectors of the Ruhr Area, which was dominated by iron and steel.
