Chalcidian helmet A Chalcidian helmet or Chalcidian type helmet was a helmet made of bronze and worn by ancient warriors of the Hellenic world , especially popular in Greece in the fourth and fifth centuries BC . The helmet was also worn extensively in the Greek ( Southern ) parts of Italy in the same period . Terminology . The helmet is so - called because it was first , and is most commonly , depicted on pottery once thought to derive from the Euboean city of Chalcis . In fact , it is not known whether the helmet actually originated in Chalcis ; indeed , it is not known whether the pottery in question was actually Chalcidian . Description . The helmet appears to have been a development of the Corinthian helmet , its improvements in design giving the wearer better hearing and vision , resulting in a lighter and less bulky helmet . It consisted of a hemispherical dome , and below that , generally inset from the top dome , a pair of cheek pieces and a neck guard , with a substantial loop on either side for the wearer ' s ears . In the front , between the two cheek pieces , was a small nasal bar to protect the wearer ' s nose . The helmet could be entirely one piece , or the cheek pieces could be attached separately by hinges , which eased construction and made putting the helmet on easier . In Italy , the helmet with fixed cheek pieces is referred to as Chalcidian , its variant with hinged cheek pieces is called a Lucanian helmet because it was widely used in Lucania . The helmet would commonly have a hole pierced on each cheek piece or elsewhere in order to accept an inner lining which was made of leather . Adornments such as combs and other protuberances were usually placed on the top of the helmet . Usage . By the time of Alexander the Great , the helmet was still worn by armoured soldiers , especially Hoplites , the spear - armed heavy infantrymen ( other than those of the Spartans , who instead wore the much plainer pilos helmet ) . It is likely that some of the Macedonian soldiers who ruled the rest of Greece and went on to forge a substantial Hellenistic empire also wore the Chalcidian helmet . The helmet is thought to have developed in turn into the Attic helmet which is iconic of classical soldiers .

Depth Corps The Depth Corps ( , " lit . " Depth Headquarters ) of the Israel Defense Forces ( IDF ) is a unit formed in 2011 to coordinate the IDF ' s long range operations and operations deep in enemy territory . The unit operated in the 1980s but was scaled down and then planned again in the 2000s . The decision for its formation in the current form was taken by Chief of Staff Benny Gantz in 2011 . The current commander is Major General Shay Avital , who answers directly to the chief of staff . The deputy head is Gal Hirsch , who played a notable role in the Second Lebanon War . History . The unit originally operated in 1982 – 1986 . It was subordinated to the Southern Command and headed by Major General Doron Rubin . It was scaled down and commanded by a Brigadier General until 2011 . The last commander of the unit in this form was Gil Tamir . Background for reformation . The Depth Corps was recreated as a major unit out of a feeling that Israel ' s special forces were underutilized in the nation ' s conflicts , and out of a lack of a body coordinating their operations behind enemy lines . This was made possible by preparations made by the major generals Aviv Kokhavi , Ido Nehoshtan and Gadi Eizenkot . According to Israeli newspaper " Haaretz " , it was also a means for Defense Minister Ehud Barak to realize his vision of having more special forces veterans in IDF ' s General Staff . Previously , many of IDF ' s special operations were commanded by the naval or air force chiefs by virtue of the soldiers being transported by sea or air , respectively , regardless of the essence of these operations . One of the primary missions for the new corps will be the interdiction of supplies to Arab militants . This may include new naval units and possibly a squadron of Bell Boeing V - 22 Osprey aircraft .
