Title: Cornuti
Post by: aligern on Aug 18, 2021, 09:29 AM
I recall seeing, probably in a book, though maybe online, a nice reconstruction of the Cornuti and their peculiar helmet.  There is a good article on JStor about them, but it is not the source of the reconstruction.  Can anyone recall this piece of art?
Cheers
Roy
