    That first image you show in "some founds of leather cuirasses", is that a statue? It haves striking similarities to the gallaecian warrior statues! Do you know where can I find more info about it?

    Aernuss, you can find some similar statues here: http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/a...en/index2.html
    The first picture show a figurine on a pitcher in the Glauberg's tomb and a statue of Glauberg.

    I added several helmets and armors.

    how long do you recon this type of helm was used?
    is there any geographical area where it was either more common or not used?

    what style of equipment do you recon the Irish used in the 5th century?
    would there be much or any resemblance to earlier celt styles?

    The Port helmet is only found in tombs succeeding the Gallic Wars. Maybe this helmet is used during the Gallic Wars, but it's not sure. Matthieu Poux thinks this helmet was made for the auxiliaries in the end of the Gallic Wars. Generally the helmet is found in the frontiers (Swiss, Belgia) and in the East (Austria, Romania). This model 3D is good I think.

    For the Irish, it's difficult. I advise you to search the "Arthur and Anglo-Saxon Wars" on Filestube.
