Etruscan bronze helmet dedicated by Hieron in the sanctuary of Olympia, with other objects from the spoils taken by the Syracusans who defeated the Etruscans (tyrrhenoi) in the waters off Cumae in 474 BC. A dedicatory formula is incised on it, which can be read more completely on another helmet recently found at Olympia: "Hieron, son of Deinomenes, and the Syracusans (dedicated) to Zeus (spoils) of the Tyrrhenians, from Cumae" (London, British Museum).
