Galli Senoni’s Helmets

An armour and two amazing Montefortino-type helmets (4th century BC), so called after the necropolis of Montefortino. They probably belonged to the Celtic tribe of Galli Senoni, living in Norh-East Italy before the Roman conquest. This kind of helmet, modified through the times, was adopted by the Romans too.

The Galli Senoni occupied part of the former Etruscan territory (the Po River Valley and the Adriatic region) around the 400 BC. The name of the Italian city of Senigallia on the Adriatic coast remind us their ancient presence.
