But really, can you imagine having this on your head and someone bashing it with a sword??
Cryolith
Looks like something straight out of the swords comic

When's this up for destruction? This was during a time of slaves as well

They're styled after Greek helmets. Even more outlandish are the copies of Corinthian full-face helms where the face bit sits on the head.
Aurelio2010
You are right, but its italic too, like u can see the greeks one havent this kind of ornament. They are sannitic but the style is greek
flavivsaetivs
Italo-Corinthian helmets, yeah.

Hmm got an 'All Might' look to it as well as the rest of the references.

Maybe ancient! It’s from 2600 years ago

Artists. Draw this like you think it looked when it was just made and new.

That's a nice helmet, by Toutatis
Weneedbees
Humph, looks like that just helps aim the blade.

Ah yes the legendary Helm of the sword eared Rabbitman!

I’m pretty sure that’s Arthur’s helmet from The Tick

Someone should do a drawing of what it looked like originally!

Put foil on it for better reception

That was my FiRST thought too. Why the heck does she wear those? I have seen at least 50 episodes. Anyone know?

The Bob's Burgers movie is going to include a little backstory about it, according to series Loren Bouchard. He's said they were inspired by
fauxcault
an anime character who wore a bear hat, & he's said it's like we "experience Louise both as a little girl and Bugs Bunny at the same time."
fauxcault
I like the Bugs Bunny comparison. Louise has that bit of clever, chaotic trickster figure in her.

I always find the Italo-Corinthians to be pretty neat. Italians saw how the Greeks wear their Corinthian helms when not in battle and 1
ImperatorAurelian
thought "hey, I want that to be a full fledged helmet on its own"
Allgoodnameslonggone
Look pretty ceremonial. Fighting helmets would've been much less elaborate...
chuckles11
Yeah same reason why actual viking helmets don’t have horns. Gives the enemy something to grab onto
Aurelio2010
It was in a tomb of a warrior
flavivsaetivs
Nope. There was (mostly) no such thing as "Ceremonial" back then. If you had fancy shit, you showed it off to your enemies.
quzar
I think in Appian there's a mention that after being disarmed the Carthaginians resorted to emptying temples of ceremonial arms and armor. 1
quzar
Not sure if you meant just for Italian cultures, or would consider those decorative or sacrifices instead. 2/2
Allgoodnameslonggone
Seriously? In a fight you don't want stuff hampering movement or slowing you down. These blades on the top are not practical at all.
flavivsaetivs
Neither are crests or feathers or other things, yet they were used. Bronze you should see some of the Celtic helmets from this same period.
Allgoodnameslonggone
Ok, thx, any tips for further info?
flavivsaetivs
I mean if you want to learn about historical armor, a good place to start depends on the era. For Roman there's MC Bishop's (1/2)
StonesOnTheHill
They could be useful to make sure that your guys could easily find their leader in the scrum, so you know where to turn for orders.
Allgoodnameslonggone
Like battle flags? Makes sense.
