THE EMPIRE’S INFLUENCE ON BARBARIAN ELITES FROM THE PONTUS TO THE RHINE (5th-7th CENTURIES):

A CASE STUDY OF LAMELLAR WEAPONS AND SEGMENTAL HELMET

Damien Glad

he question of the origin and dissemination of defensive weapons, in particular of lamellar weapons and of segmental helmets used in the Byzantine army in the 5th-7th cen-tury, has caused much ink to low. It will be our aim to show the common origin of these arms in the Near East and their spread in the Empire from the Eastern Mediterranean before their passage to the Germanic tribes in the 6th-7th centuries. A study of the origin of the relevant inds suggests that they should be considered as a typically Byzantine production. A careful examination of funeral deposits will allow us to assess the Empire’s inluence on the Germanic elites through the distribution of prestige goods and to determine how they spread. Such an analysis will also reveal the role of the Ponto-Danubian region in the difusion of early Byzantine weapons to the barbarian chiefs.

I. Origins of segmental helmets and of lamellar weapons

he irst students of segmental helmets (Spangenhelme) sought to trace their journey to Europe from the Black Sea region. R. Henning (1906) believed that these helmets were adopted by the Alans from the Huns, who subjugated them ca 370 A D; the Alans then transmitted them to the Ostrogoths in Crimea. Little was known about segmental helmets in the early 20th century, and the only two specimens discovered in an early Byzantine context, in Sveti Vid (Narona, Croatia), were attributed to Germans. M. Ebert (1909) believed that segmental helmets reached Central and Western Europe without passing through the Mediterranean and the Roman Empire. Marks on a helmet con-served in the Museum of Art History in Berlin led A. Götze (1909) to conclude that segmental helmets, or at least their prototype, emerged from a crossing of Germanic and Scythian cultures on the Cimmerian Bosporus. he depiction of such helmets on a fresco from the “tomb of 1872” in Kerch (Fig. 1) seemed to support this theory. More generally, the sensational discoveries in Kerch burials led archaeologists to attrib-ute the origin of many prestige goods to this region.

Several scholars have considered segmental helmets to be of Sassanian origin. he Byzantines could have adopted this type of helmet and then spread it to Central and Western Europe through trade relations with the Germanic elites (Alföldi 1934; Werner 1949/50; Arwidsson 1939). Forty years later S. V. Grancsay (1949, 276) suggested that segmental helmets could have been introduced into the Roman world by Sarmatian troops stationed in the Nile Valley. More recently, M. Feugère (1995, 147) sought again to locate their origin among the Sarmatians, citing the helmets worn by the Syrian archers on the spiral frieze of Trajan’s Column. At the same time, M. Kazanski (1995) called this theory into question indicating that helmets found in Sarmatian graves were quite diferent and that not one of these graves produced a segmental helmet.

It is our belief that segmental helmets originated in the Eastern Mediterranean and in the Near East. As early as the 10th century B C, the Hittites adorned their gods with segmental helmets as seen on a relief from Malatya in Turkey (Gamber 1964, 15). he

351THE EMPIRE’S INFLUENCE ON THE BARBARIAN ELITES

earliest specimen dating from the 6th century B C was excavated in Sardis in western Turkey, the capital of ancient Lydia (Fig. 2) (Greenewalt, Heywood 1992). he main features of a segmental helmet are already present: a conical helmet-bowl reinforced by riveted metal strips which come together under a circular plate riveted to the apex, and a T-shaped nasal plate. Only an oblong neck-guard distinguishes this Lydian helmet from its early Byzantine descendants. A segmental helmet appears on coins of the Parthian king Arsaces I (238-211 B C) (Overlaet 1982, 191). From Parthia, it reaches the steppe and the Kuban region where conical helmets, similar to those represented on Kerch frescos and on Trajan’s Column, were discovered at Gorodskoj in privileged graves dating from the 2nd century A D (Goroncharovski 2006, 446-450). he type of helmet worn by Syrian archers on Trajan’s column and some other eastern auxiliaries of the Roman army from the 2nd century A D is still found by archaeologists in the second half of the 5th century, at a time when the bulk of the Byzantine army was of oriental origin. his is also the time when a new type of segmental helmet, the Baldenheim type, makes its appearance, as we will discuss below.

As for lamellar weapons, many scholars attribute their introduction to the Avars, a Nomadic people of Central Asia who came into contact with the Byzantine Empire in the mid-6th century. Once settled on the Danube, the Avars supposedly spread this type of arms to the Germanic tribes of Central and Western Europe, especially to the Lombards who left lamellar specimens at Castel Trosino and Val di Nievole in Italy, and then to the Alamanni beyond the Alps. P. Paulsen (1967) considers the helmet found in Niederstötzingen (Germany) not as Avar but as Lombard or Byzantine, possibly produced in a Pontic workshop. According to G. Arwidsson, the lamellar helmet

excavated in Kerch (Fig. 3 : 1), together with lamellar armour, could suggest a Pontic-Scythian origin for lamellar armament.

Regarding the origin of the lamellar weapons, O. Gamber (1964, 14-18; 1966, 17; 1968, 7-44) has shown that lamellar helmets were known to the Egyptians in the 15th century B C, to the Hittites in the 13th century B C and to the Romans in the 2nd century A D. According to H. Von Gall (1990, 64), such weapons were known in the Middle East as early as the Assyrian period. While the lamellar helmet is not attested in 3rd-4th-century Sassanian Iran (Kazanski 1995, 193), it is worn by eastern auxiliaries of the Roman army on the Arch of Galerius in hessaloniki (Greece), built between 298 and 305 A D (Laubscher 1975). Horsemen depicted on the Arch wear lamellar helmets with a T-shaped nasal plate very similar to those found in the Eastern Pontus.

353THE EMPIRE’S INFLUENCE ON THE BARBARIAN ELITES

he earliest lamellar helmet from this region was found in a 2nd-century A D Sar-ma tian grave by the stanica Tbilisskaja on the Kuban; it has a hemispherical bowl re-sem bling the Roman helmets (Simonenko 2001, 263-265). Another Sarmatian burial, from Kišpek in Kabardino-Balkaria, dated between the late 3rd and the irst half of the 4th century, contained glass-paste gems and a lamellar helmet with a T-shaped nasal plate (Fig. 3 : 2). Likewise, the early Byzantine fortress Il’ičevka on the Taman Peninsula delivered a helmet dated to the 5th-6th century (Nikolaeva 1986), with a hemispherical bowl and a T-shaped nasal plate (Fig. 3 : 3). he igurative ears of the 5th-century lamellar helmet with a conical bowl found in Kalkhni in Dagestan (Fig. 3 : 4) are clearly indicative of a Roman inluence (Salihov 1985). his feature is also present on a helmet from Iatrus (Bulgaria), dated to the early 5th century (Gomolka-Fuchs 2007, ig.13/1629). Helmets from Kalkhni and Iatrus could be contemporary. hese igurative ears are reminiscent of Weiler-Guisborough type helmets and face helmets of the early Empire (Feugère 1994). Archaeological evidences seems to suggest that the lamellar helmet was worn between the late 3rd and the 6th century between the Black Sea coast and the Caspian Sea in garrisons under Roman Byzantine inluence long before the arrival of the Avars.

Likewise, lamellar armour is attested on the Black Sea from the 4th century B C: in Čirgirin, in Kerch and in Volkovicy-Romny. Since the 2nd century B C, it is present in Sarmatian graves, including the Tbilisskaja. he lamellae have the same dimensions and disposition of holes as the early Byzantine specimens from the Balkans (Simonenko 2001, 275-277). he armour of the heavy horsemen on the wall painting from Panjikent is composed of vertical splints attached to a skirt of mail (Fig. 4). his technique is

reminiscent of the armour of the Parthian cataphractus depicted on a 2nd century A D graito from Dura-Europos (Fig. 5), which is, in turn, very similar to that of the Sarmatian horsemen on Trajan’s Column and on the Kerch frescoes. Lamellar armours have been found in a Sassanian context in Dvin and in Aygavan in Armenia (Kalantarjan 2003, 331, with tab. 152), as well as in Qasr-i Abu Nasr, in Iran (Winlock, Upton, Hauser 1934). It is quite possible that the Sassanians transmitted lamellar armour to the Byzantines.

Although a lamellar helmet is featured on ceramic igurines dating from the late 3rd century A D and on a fresco at Jamalpur (India) dating from the 2nd century A D, the reintroduction into the Mediterranean world of the lamellar technique by people from Central Asia and Far East is to be advanced with the greatest caution. his technique was preserved in the Caucasus until at least the 6th century. If the lamellar type may ind its origin in Central Asia or in the Far East, we must bear in mind that a similar kind existed in the Mediterranean world long before Late Antiquity (Kazanski 1993, 59; 1995, 189-193).

355THE EMPIRE’S INFLUENCE ON THE BARBARIAN ELITES

II. Early Byzantine productions

A new type of helmet, of the so-called Baldenheim type, appears by the second half of the 5th century (Bavant 2008; Glad 2009; Vogt 2006). It has been found in many Germanic graves along the major European rivers: the Saône, the Rhine, the Danube and the Tisza, but also in the Elbe basin and on lake Léman. his segmental type becomes common in the Byzantine army between the second half of the 5th and the early 7th century. In the territory of the Early Byzantine Empire, these helmets come from border garrisons or fortiied cities of the interior. he former are mostly complete while the latter are used and broken.

he earliest specimens come from an Illyrian urban context. One helmet was found in an imperial fortress near Voivoda in Bulgaria (Fig. 6), destroyed in the second half of the 5th century (Vagalinski 1998), the other, in the late 5th – early 6th century destruction layer in the south annex of the basilica C in Heraklea Lyncestis in Macedonia (Fig. 7) (Maneva 1987). Other helmets from the Balkans are more recent. he helmet

from Batajnica (Serbia), the only one deposited in a grave (Vinski 1954), testiies to the Empire’s inluence on the Germanic elites. Others come from the last occupation layer of Iustinian Prima (Caričin Grad, Serbia), dated between the reign of Justin II and the abandonment of the city in 615. Novae (Svištov, Bulgaria), Selenca (Serbia) and Vodno (Markovi Kuli, Makedonia) have produced several more fragments (a complete bibliography can be found in Bavant 2008).

Since the publication of the Lepcis Magna (Libya) (Pirling 1974) and the Heraklea Lyncestis inds, the Byzantine origin of the Baldenheim type is widely admitted. he distribution map produced by Z. Vinski (1982, cf. 1984) shows a concentration of Baldenheim-type helmets in the western part of the Empire around Italy, but also their occurrence on sites with no known Germanic presence in the 5th-6th centuries. Recent studies focus on the identiication and localization of arm factories. M. Vogt (after Böhner 1993; 1994) argued for the existence of a western workshop, presumably in Ostrogothic Italy, but the publication of several fragments from Iustiniana Prima (Caričin Grad, Serbia) has invalidated this hypothesis. B. Bavant has demonstrated that all four arm factories identiied by M. Vogt are Byzantine. hree of them could have been located in Constantinople or in area around the Sea of Marmara, in Nicomedia or Cyzicus. As for the fourth fabrica, the western group of M. Vogt, B. Bavant has suggested localizing it in hessaloniki. he author explains the stability of the Baldenheim type by the cen tral-ized control of production exercised by the comes sacrarum largitionum.

he question of the production of the lamellar weapons is more complex. heir appearance in the Empire has traditionally been dated to the second half of the 6th century. Placed in the context of the confrontation with the Avars, lamellar armour was considered as a means of resisting the penetrating power of their three-winged arrowheads. However, the earliest lamellae discovered at the site of a military warehouse in Topraichioi (near Babadag, Romania; not yet published) come from an occupation layer dating from the second half of the 5th century, before the Avars’ arrival. What is more, the discovery of a large number of lamellae in fortiications far from the conlict zone indicates the production of this type of armour by Byzantine arms factories (Bavant, Ivanišević 2003; Bugarski 2006; Ivanišević, Špehar 2006; Milinković 1995 and 2002). Several lamellar armours found in Viminacium show that they were supplied to the Gepids, positioned in the front line against the Avars. However, a recent ind of lamellar armour in Spartaria Carthago (Cartagena, Spain) along with early Byzantine pottery conirms its wide availability in the Byzantine army (Vizcaíno Sanchez 2008). Likewise, 7th-century lamellar armour was excavated in a Byzantine context in Crypta Balbi in Rome (Ricci 2001, 400). None of these inds can be related to the Avars.

357THE EMPIRE’S INFLUENCE ON THE BARBARIAN ELITES

III. Diffusion among the Germanic peoples: the evidence of burials

he presence of armour plates in graves at Bdinci (Văžarova 1976, 141-146) and Stara Zagora (Bulgaria)1 as well as of a helmet in the Gepid grave in Batajnica (Vinski 1954) attests to the imperial inluence on the barbarian elites. Depositing weapons in a grave as an ofering was neither a Roman nor a Christian funeral custom, but this did not preclude using imperial prestige goods for this purpose. In the Conceşti grave (Moldavia) from the early 5th century (Matzulewitsch 1929, 123-137), the deceased was buried with a late Roman crested helmet, a funeral wreath in a Roman fashion and a treasure of silver objects carrying marks of the imperial workshop of Constantinople. Latin inscriptions on weapons from the bogs of horsbjerg, Nydam, Vimose and Kragehul conirm the inluence of the Later Empire on the Germanic elite (Engelhardt 1863; 1865; 1867; 1869).

In the Byzantine context, segmental helmets were commonly worn by regular troops and by the Gothic foederati, eventually left behind in abandoned fortresses or deposited in graves by the foederati after their retirement. Byzantine coins are frequently found in graves with the helmets. An imitation of a solidus of Anastasius in the grave in Gellep near Krefeld (Germany), a real solidus of Tiberius II in Morken (Germany), a solidus of Leo I in Planig (Germany) (Pirling 1964; Böhner 1959; Kessler 1940) conirm the density of links between Byzantium and the West Germanic principalities as of the second half of the 5th century. At the other end of the continent, the segmental helmet of Kerch (Crimea) was excavated with a lamellar helmet and a coin of Leo I (Arendt 1932; Arwidsson 1939), while the grave of Batajnica (Serbia) contained a coin of Anastasius.

Lamellar weapons are known in the Balkans, in Central Europe and, to a lesser extent, in some western graves. Apart from the Balkans, all inds come from funeral contexts. he great majority of lamellae attributable to the Avars, most often isolated plates, come from women or children’s graves. he presence of lamellae in male graves on the Avar territory is rare and of full body armour, even rarer. J. Kovačević (1977, 115-116) has highlighted the apotropaic value of isolated lamellae deposit, which is also current in Altaic graves. By way of contrast, the complete armour inds can all be related to Byzantium or its Germanic allies, with the only exception of the goldsmith’s grave from Kunszentmárton, of Avar origin.

Coins are often present in graves along with lamellar armour: a coin of Maurice at Szegvár-Sápoldal, a coin of Heraclius at Hajdúdorog (Hungary) and Ostryj-Mys (Russia), Roman bronze coins at Kölked-Feketekapu B (Hungary) and Szekszárd (Hungary) (Bóna 1979 and 1980; Garam 1992; Kiss 2001; Rosner 1999). Likewise, lamellar armour was found in the destruction layer dated around 550 in the Byzantine fortress of Tsibilium (Abkhazia) (Kubarev 2006). Coins of Heraclius were found with a lamellar helmet

in a grave at Sînpetru-German (Romania) (Dörner 1960; Garam 1992). While the discovery of a lamellar helmet and a segmental helmet along with a pierced coin of Leo I in Kerch (supra) suggested to P. Paulsen (1967, 133-138) the possibility of production of the famous lamellar armour from Niederstötzingen in a Pontic workshop, the growing body of evidence rather points to its manufacture within the Empire. he depiction of a horseman carrying lamellar armour and a segmental helmet on the Isola Rizza dish (Italy) conirms the wide spread of the lamellar type from Armenia to Germany and the Empire’s cultural impact on barbarian elites.

* * *

A critical analysis of theories on the origin and spread of early Byzantine segmental helmets and lamellar weapons reveals the important part played by the Ponto-Danubian area. It is the barbarian tribes who provided soldiers for the imperial army that became the main vectors in the spread of early Byzantine weapons in the Barbaricum from the Steppes to the Rhine. hese weapons, produced by the imperial fabricae for the use of the imperial army, were considered as prestige goods by barbarian elites. hey were difused by the same trans-continental routes, including the Silk Road, the Rhine and the Danube, which promoted cultural transfers from East to West. It would only be fair, however, to recall a movement in the opposite direction: the study of shield bosses shows the spread of western Germanic weaponry into the Empire.

If the Eastern Empire was fairly susceptible to the Caucasian and Oriental inluences, the western Germanic peoples showed little receptiveness to a direct impact of a foreign culture. Only the elite and the foederati showed attachment to imperial prestige goods, to which they attributed a particular symbolic value in funeral oferings.
