A very rare war helmet of a Thracian aristocrat from the 1st-2nd century AD found during emergency excavations of the Ancient Thracian tumulus (burial mound) known as Pamuk Mogila in Bulgaria’s Brestovitsa in 2013, has been shown to the public for the first time in a special exhibition of the Plovdiv Museum of Archaeology.
The unique war helmet featuring mythology motifs from the Trojan War is just one of the some 80 different artifacts on display in the exhibition entitled “Ancient Treasures from Brestovitsa” which has been opened by the Director of the Plovdiv Museum of Archaeology Kostadin Kisyov, Plovdiv Mayor Ivan Totev, Rodopi Municipality Mayor Plamen Spasov, and Brestovitsa Mayor Lyuben Radev, reports local news site Plovdiv24.
The focal point of the exhibit is the Ancient Thracian aristocrat’s cavalry war helmet found in the Pamuk Mogila tumulus in 2013, whose worth as an archaeological artifact is estimated at EUR 2 million.

The ancient war helmet is made of iron with bronze coating. It immitates a human head with hair, and is decorated with images of gods and heroes from the Ancient Thracian and Ancient Greek mythology including motifs from the Trojan War described in Homer’s Iliad.
Thus, the front of the Ancient Thracian helmet (whose most likely precise dating is the beginning of the 2nd century AD) features six images of god Eros, while one of its cheek guards has an image of god Apollo, and the other one – of god Hermes.
However, the most intriguing decoration is on the back of the war helmet: a scene from the Trojar War depicting the murder of Hector’s son Astyanax (Scamandrius) by Achilles’s son Neoptolemus. The helmet depiction is the only depiction of this scene found in Bulgaria to date.
This specific scene from the Ancient Greek and Thracian mythology is known to world archaeologists from two Ancient Greek vessels kept in the British Museum in London, Kostadin Kisyov points out. Its discovery on a Thracian aristocrat’s helmet from the 1st-2nd century AD is also unique for another reason.

“This is the first time this exact scene from the Trojan War has been found on an artifact from the Roman Age,” Kisyov explains.
Ancient Thrace was fully conquered by the Roman Empire in 46 AD, and the members of the Thracian aristocracy largely preserved their status and privileges in their new capacity as provincial Roman aristocrats.
The truly unique Thracian war helmet is shown to the public only now because it has been restored for the past 2 years by Svetla Tsaneva, an expert from Bulgaria’s National Museum of History in Sofia, reports local news site Top Novini Plovdiv.
The restoration of the helmet, which had been severely deformed by a sword blow, at the Bulgarian National Museum of History cost BGN 12,000 (app. EUR 6,200). In comparison, in the UK capital London, the restoration of a similar ancient war helmet took 7 years and cost GBP 150,000.
“This war helmet is extremely rare, and there are only 3 more like it in the entire world,” the Director of the Plovdiv Museum of Archaeology is quoted as saying.
Two of those three similar helmets have been found in Bulgaria but they are not as richly decorated as the latest one to be discovered. The Thracian war helmet from the Pamuk Mogila burial mound in Brestovitsa is also the only one of them to have been found in Plovdiv’s region.
