Nijmegen Roman Cavalry Helmet (late 1st Century - early 2nd Century AD), an iron mask sheathed in bronze and silver  discovered in 1915 CE, in a gravel  bed on the south bank of the Waal, under a railway bridge and below Dutch city Nijmegen. Inside it were two cheek guards, evidently from a separate helmet, and several melon-shaped blue glass beads.

On 2 March 1915 James Curle, a Scottish archaeologist, read a paper on the helmet to the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies, which published paper in its journal later that year; helmet was described as "recently discovered", and "a recent addition" to the collection of Roman antiquities of Gerard Marius Kam, also of Nijmegen. According to Arrian of Nicomedia, face mask helmets were used in cavalry parades and sporting mock battles called “hippika gymnasia”

Nijmegen helmet would have been worn by the élite Roman cavalry. The head portion of the helmet is made of iron, while the mask and  diadem are of bronze or brass. The helmet provides neck protection via a projecting rim overlaid with a thin bronze covering plated with silver. Diadem features two male and three female figures. Helmet indicated by its hairless brow and the shape of its eyes, lips, and chin. It is broadly classified as a cavalry sports helmet—type D, according to the typology put forward by H. Russell Robinson.  Type D cavalry sports helmets are distinguished by two features: a horizontal hinge that attaches face mask to the head piece, and a head piece made to resemble a decorated helmet.

The remaining portions of the helmet consist of three main parts: a face mask, a brow band, and ear and neck guards on either side. An iron skull cap was designed to closely follow the outline of the wearer's head, although due to significant oxidation, only fragments remain; what remains shows that it was originally skillfully hammered to represent elaborately dressed hair. Mask, made of silvered bronze, depicts a youthful face. The eyes, mouth and nostrils have openings and lips and eyelids are gilded. The face extends outwards on the sides to cover the ears. These are covered by a separate piece of silvered bronze to protect the ears and neck. On the dexter cheek is scratched a name, suggested to be "Marcianus".

The brow band, or diadem, of the helmet is attached to head-piece by a single horizontal hinge; additional straps would likely have originally been used to hold the helmet in place over the wearer's head. At the top and bottom of the brow band are beaded lines, between which five raised busts, three female and two male, are depicted. The band is silvered, and the beaded lines, like the busts' drapery, lips, eyelids, and hair, are gilded.

https://t.co/LIYkfuTDvT Sé que es un rollo firmar este tipo de cosas porque luego te bombardean con emails con otras iniciativas, pero ¿me ayudáis a firmar la petición? Es para que el Griego sea obligatorio en el Bachillerato de Humanidades, el cual no se entiende sin el Griego.

Cuando dices que vas a estudiar filología, filosofía, arte, historia, geografía, humanidades, te anuncian la catástrofe. Ahora que tantos jóvenes están tomando sus decisiones, quisiera compartir mi experiencia contra corriente: elegí clásicas. Y no me he arrepentido ni un día.

Dolce & Gabbana (D&G) fashion show in summer of 2019; Ancient Greece inspired collection. As the collection was inspired by Ancient Greece, it was only fitting that the clothes were displayed for the first time at the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Sicily - Italy.

The noble temple, reflecting the tangerine yellow of the setting sun, stood like a rock of ages – taking Sicily back thousands of years to the artistic culture of ancient Greece. The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento belonged – for one night only – to Dolce & Gabbana, whose Alta Moda collection was shown on this historic site.

Civilization of ancient Greece  flourished from 8th Century BC to 600 CE. It was located in southeastern Europe along the coast of Mediterranean Sea and included modern-day countries of Greece and parts of Türkiye, Italy and Bulgaria. Today, ancient Greeks are known for their contributions to philosophy, politics, art, architecture, and science. They were also known for their unique clothing styles, inspired by their environment and cultural traditions. In movies about ancient Greece, characters portraying Greek citizens, soldiers, or mythological figures often wear these clothing styles.

Characteristics of traditional Greek fashion included long, flowing garments made of lightweight materials such as linen or wool. People draped these garments over the body in a manner that allowed for a range of movement and comfort. Both men and women wore tunics that were knee-length or longer. They could be worn as a standalone garment or layered over other clothing. People fastened their tunics at the shoulder with a pin or brooch and often wore a belt to cinch the waist. Overall, the clothing of ancient Greece was functional and practical but also imbued with cultural and artistic significance. Intricate patterns, designs, and embroidery often adorned garments, and they were often made of luxurious materials such as silk or gold-threaded fabric.

A tunic was a garment that both men and women would commonly wear in ancient Greece. It was a sleeveless piece of clothing, knee-length or longer, that they wore over the upper body and fastened at the shoulder with a pin or brooch. Ancient Greeks typically made tunics of lightweight materials such as linen or wool and wore them as either a standalone garment or layered over other clothing. The tunic was a versatile garment that could be worn in a variety of settings and was suitable for both formal and casual occasions. It was also practical in ancient Greek dress, allowing for a range of movement and comfort.

Ancient Greeks created their clothing using various techniques and tools, such as weaving fabrics on looms, sewing together pieces of fabric, and using decorative techniques like embroidery, beadwork, and the use of gold and silver thread. In ancient Greece, men and women wore tunics that they crafted out of lightweight materials like linen or wool and fastened at the shoulder with a pin or brooch. Men and women both wore a chiton, a long sleeveless garment, as well as cloaks called himatia made of heavier materials like wool or animal skin to keep warm. Men wore various headgear such as hats, helmet-like caps, and headbands, while women wore head coverings like veils, headbands, and hair ornaments. Ancient Greeks also wore garments like the peplos and the chlamys. The peplos was a long rectangular piece of fabric that women would often wear on formal occasions, fastened at the shoulders with a pair of fibulae (brooches), and made of luxurious materials such as silk with intricate patterns or designs. A chlamys was a short cloak-like garment worn by men over a tunic or chiton. It was made of lightweight materials like wool or linen, fastened at the shoulder with a pin or brooch, and often used for travel, outdoor activities, or in battle.
