(2.) One found in the Thames,[1370] near Waterloo Bridge, with projecting horns and ornamented with scroll-work and red enamel. This is undoubtedly of the Late Celtic Period. Some Etruscan helmets also bear horns, but more curved in form than those on this helmet from the Thames.
(3.) Another, more conical in form, and with a semicircular plate at the back, locality unknown, but probably from a river.[1371] This was in the Meyrick Collection, and is now in the British Museum.
The helmets found on Ogmore Down,[1372] Glamorganshire, appear to be of much later date.
A helmet from Auxonne, Côte d’Or, has been figured by Chantre.[1373] Another was found with various bronze antiquities at Theil[1374] (Loir et Cher).
CHAPTER XVI
TRUMPETS AND BELLS.
Another instrument probably connected with warfare, though not strictly speaking an arm either of offence or defence, is the trumpet, of which numerous examples in bronze have been found, especially in Ireland. It is very doubtful whether the greater part of them do not belong to the Early Iron Age, rather than to that of Bronze; but as it seems probable that some at least belong to a transitional period, and it is possible that others are of even earlier date, they could hardly be passed over without notice in these pages.
