Famous gilt Roman helmet from Berkasovo, Northern Serbia, one of the finest Late Roman helmets ever found.
Originating at the beginning of the 4th century AD, it is made of gold-plated iron plates luxuriously decorated with gems and glass paste ornaments and has Greek inscriptions on the edges.
Collection of the Museum of Vojvodina in Novi Sad.
It was discovered together with another gold-plated helmet and horse equipment in 1955 by a woman in a field in the village of Berkasovo (40 km from Sirmium, one of the main and most important Roman cities), in the Srem region, in the north of Serbia.
The helmets probably belonged to the cavalry officers of the Roman emperor Licinius, who was defeated at the battle of Cibalae, against the emperor Constantine I in 314 or 316 AD.
Along with the third gold-plated helmet from the village of Jarak in the Srem region, these pieces are considered to be among the finest ever found.
So far 15 similar helmets have been found throughout the ancient Roman world, but these from Serbia are the best preserved. All are classified into the same type, named after Berkasovo.

Re: Romersk hjälm lik vendeltidens hjälmar
Hjälmen liknar hjälmarna från Vendel, Valsgärde, Sutton Hoo mfl. Finns det ett samband?

Hittade en artikel som är inne på likheterna mellan hjälmarna.
Re: Romersk hjälm lik vendeltidens hjälmar
Rubriken är väl lite fel, tror knappast att romarna kopierade vendelhjälmarna, utan det var nog tvärt om. Att hjälmarna i Sutton Ho och Vendel är lika tycker jag stämmer, kan det vara så att Sutton Ho-folket skaffade sig en koloni i Vendelområdet?
Re: Romersk hjälm lik vendeltidens hjälmar
Visst kan det vara så, men vi kan ju bara gissa åt vilket håll som spridningen skett.
Vidare ska vi inte glömma att fragment av samma hjälmtyp har återfunnits i Uppåkra.
