It was a helmet made of bronze which in its later styles covered the entire head & neck, with slits for the eyes & mouth. A large curved projection protected the nape of the neck. Out of combat, a Greek hoplite would wear the helmet tipped upward for comfort. Originals of these can be seen in museums across the world, but the prototypes are in the Olympia museum in Greece. The ram represents the power to penetrate, overcome, & achieve. It reflects the assertion of strength in creative ways to achieve a breakthrough. It is also associated with sacrifice. The ram serves as the icon for action, the fifth element of heroism. Σ 282142122600 - 34 Ancient Greek Spartan Corinthian Helmet - Ram Motif Marble Base Museum Reproduction Pure Bronze Statue
