Abstract

The current article provides an overview of helmets discovered in a ritual context, known from the territory of Ancient Thrace, north of the Danube River. A total of seven examples from the mentioned region are included, with the artifacts found in various „non-standard“ environments (hoards, deposits in burial mounds or water basins), suggesting their cult nature.
