The Illyrian type helmet (or Greco-Illyrian type helmet) [note 1] is a style of bronze helmet, which in its later variations covered the entire head and neck, and was open-faced in all of its forms. [4] It originated in Peloponnese, ancient Greece, [5] and was developed during the 8th and 7th centuries BC (700–640 BC).
The helmet was developed after the Greeks became familiar with the Thracian cap. The shape of the Boeotian helmet was also based on a type of soft hat, in this case the Greek petasos, a brimmed hat. [6] Like the vast majority of helmets of Greek origin, Thracian and Phrygian helmets were made of bronze.
