*"Did I ever tell you about the time I designed a uniform for tank crewmen? It was green leather, it had red stripes, and a row of brass buttons down across here. And topped off by a gold football helmet. The Army rejected it, of course. Goddamn, it was beautiful."—Patton*

This is my 3D capture of the [Skulpturhalle Basel's](http://www.skulpturhalle.ch/) plaster cast of the Capitoline Museum's 2nd-century BC marble *[Testa Virile Elmata](http://www.museicapitolini.net/object.xql?urn=urn:collectio:0001:scu:00581)* ("Manly Helmeted Head").
It is not clear who, if anyone, is represented here. Ennio Quirino Visconti [identified](https://archive.org/stream/iconographiegrec00visc#page/n139/mode/2up) it as a portrait of Miltiades. The Capitoline Museum [says](http://www.museicapitolini.net/object.xql?urn=urn:collectio:0001:scu:00581) it may be a strategist, or even Mars. In 1892, Wolfgang Helbig [wrote](https://archive.org/stream/guidetopublicco01reisgoog#page/n374/mode/2up/
