A New Fragment of a Hispano-Chalcidian Helmet from Castillejo (prov. Soria) in the RGZM

Abstract

This paper deals with a new fragment of a Hispano-Chalcidian helmet recovered amongst the finds excavated by A. Schulten in the surroundings of Numantia. The typology and find spot contribute to increase the catalogue of this type of helmets to 33 examples, and reinforce their Celtiberian character. Simultaneously, it allows a discussion on the metallography of the group, and some reflections on the last step of its evolution at the end of the 3rd century BC.
