A quick not only:
I am sending to you a link of 2 photos which I htink you will find interesting.

The arrowhead was found in the ruins of the city of Olynthos and bears the inscription of Philip. One could believe that if Philip had the city under siege in 348 he may have had the black humor to give orders to inscribe the arrowheads he sent on the enemy army with his name.
The second photo is a crater from Apoulia and since it is dated back to the end of the 4th BC one can see how much these helemts were in fashion in the whole greek world including Magna Grecia. (the picture on the crater is Achilles slaughtering captured Troans during the funeral fire of Patroclus).
