Title: Cornuti
Post by: aligern on August 18, 2021, 10:29:38 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
