AΛEΞANΔ-POY Head of Alexander the Great to right, wearing crested helmet bearing an elaborate combat scene on the bowl: at the center, two cavalrymen riding in opposed directions; the cavalryman riding left and battles an enemy standing right; the rider on the right lances an enemy falling backwards to right. Rev. KOINON MAKEΔONΩN NEΩ Alexander, in military dress, with his cloak flowing out behind him and his right hand raised in salute, riding a horse walking to right. AMNG -.

The battle group on Alexander's helmet is exceptional in its detail: despite the wear on this piece it is still likely to be the best preserved example known.
