The kind of rare stuff that gets under the auction hammer these days is pretty bizarre. This time an unusual piece of artifact, a Roman cavalry helmet, is going to be auctioned in Britain with an estimated price of $300,000.
The helmet was found by a metal detector user near the village of Crosby Garrett in Cumbria in North West England. It did not find place in museum for a single piece of bronze like this is not categorized under the Treasure Act. It is beautifully modeled as the head of a handsome young man. The detailing is awe-inspiring as the face is perfectly framed by curly hair and a Phrygian cap rests atop its head. This was reportedly adopted as the symbol of
many revolutionary movements topped with a griffin.The British museum plans to acquire it by paying compensation to the finder and land owner because of the non-applicability of Old Treasure Act.
