gawkward, without becoming ugly. Very manifold, although of no great importance decoratively,are the Helmets of the Middle Ages. Leaving out of account theless important transitional forms, we will here give the names of theprincipal classes in order of historical succession. They are theHeaume (fig. 8), the Salade or sallet (fig. 7), the Tilting-helmet(fig. 9), the Armet (fig. 10), and the Helmet with barred Vizor (fig. 11).The section on Heraldry may also be consulted. The Helmets of the Renascence, especially the State - helmets,are richly, sometimes too richly, decorated. To the forms received,from the Middle ages, were added the Burganet (fig. 13), and theilorion (fig. 12). Some of these State-helmets are also copied fromthe Antique, as may be seen in fig. 14. The Modern creations in thissection are of no artistic importance. Plate 227. The Helmet. 1. Greek, bronze, Campana collection, (Lart pour tous). 2.

The Etruscan civilization was developed by a people of Etruria in ancient Italy with a common language and culture who formed a federation of city-states. After conquering adjacent lands, its territory covered at its greatest extent, roughly what is now Tuscany, western Umbria, and northern Lazio, as well as what are now the Po Valley, Emilia-Romagna, south-eastern Lombardy, southern Veneto, and western Campania. The earliest evidence of a culture that is identifiably Etruscan dates from about 900 BC. This is the period of the Iron Age Villanovan culture, considered to be the earliest phase of Etruscan civilization, which itself developed from the previous late Bronze Age Proto-Villanovan culture in the same region. Etruscan civilization endured until it was assimilated into Roman society. Assimilation began in the late 4th century BC as a result of the Roman–Etruscan Wars; it accelerated with the grant of Roman citizenship in 90 BC, and became complete in 27 BC, when the Etruscans' territory was incorporated into the newly established Roman Empire.
