archaicwonder: The Helmet of Agighiol is a Geto-Dacian silver helmet dating from the 5th century BC, housed in the National Museum of Romanian History, Bucharest. It comes from the Agighiol area, in the Tulcea County, Romania. The helmet is similar to the Helmet of Coţofeneşti and three other Getian gold or silver helmets discovered so far. The ancient Dacians, Getae and Thracians were ancient people related to each other who lived in southeastern Europe over 2000 years ago, in today’s Romania and Bulgaria. The Dacians and the Getae from north of the Danube river were united by Burebista in 82 BC, under the name of Dacia. The Getae from south of the Danube were called Moesians (Moesia). The Thracians were located below Moesia. -- source link
