Description: "The temple of Zeus at Olympia was a center of attraction for people from all parts of Greece. The visitors dedicated a large number of votives whereby armor took a prominent position; thanks to favorable conditions a considerable number have survived to the present day. This book focuses on the helmets (a great number of which are being published for the first time). However, while taking the other types of armor into account this book also treats the question of occasion, selection, handling and removal of armor dedication as well as their duration and position in the sanctuary."--Publisher's website.
