Boeotian helmet
As a follow up to System1988's Chaeronea posts, a helmet worn by one of Alexander's cavalrymen. I can't remember if I've posted this before but it is from Oxford's Ashmolean museum.
Wonder if he survived for Gaugamela, or whether he drowned?

Re: Boeotian helmet
That's great. And now my imagination is running away with me ... if it was found in the Tigris, was it lost when the army crossed the river on the way to Gaugamela? The river was swift-flowing, and no doubt quite a lot of men lost various items as they struggled to cross!
