Winged helmet
Attic helmets decorated with wings of sheet bronze were worn by the Samnites and other Italic peoples before their conquest by the Roman Republic.[2]An actual example of this type of Celtic helmet was discovered in Romania, dating to the third century BC: it has a high-mounted crest formed as a bird, possibly an eagle or a raven, with large wings spread out to either side.The Celts, however, mostly wore plainer helmets of conical or sub-conical shape, such as the 'Montefortino' type later adopted by the Romans.In modern comic book mythology, this has evolved into the wings present in the helmet or head-portion of the costume of various versions of The Flash, Captain America, and Thor.Another famous comic character who always wears a winged helmet is Asterix, after the inspiration by various modern paintings and sculptures of the Gallic chieftain Vercingetorix.
