The helmet was found near the village of Zakotorac on the Peljesac Peninsula, about 70 kilometers northwest of Dubrovnik.

Archaeologists have found an ancient Greek helmet in the hills of southern Croatia. Euronews reported this.

Scientists say it could shed light on the history of the Illyrians, a tribe from the Eastern Adriatic and the Balkans.

The helmet is the second of its kind found in the region, following a similar discovery in 2020. Both objects date to the 5th and 6th centuries BC, a time when local communities of Illyrian, according to historians.

Although little is known about the culture and language of the Illyrians, it is known that they lived in tribes. The tribe, living in the Pelješac region of what is now southern Croatia, is believed to have flourished due to its control of strategic maritime trade routes around the peninsula.

The Illyrians, who lived in the eastern Adriatic since the second millennium BC, were brutally defeated by the Romans, who invaded in the last years of the 1st century BC.

Although helmets have been found in burial mounds, they were not part of burial rituals. Experts suggest they were deposited later, perhaps as gifts in a religious or ceremonial context.

It was previously reported that Swedish researchers found more than 30,000 artifacts left from the medieval period during excavations in the city of Kalmar.
