Collections of fantastic dramaturgy

[edit]

Are there collections of fantastic dramaturgy, and if so, which ones? --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 09:51, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean collections of the dramas themselves, or collections of studies of them? Do you include opera under drama? If yes to the latter two, I can at least point you to this lengthy entry (with many links to entries on individual composers and works) in the Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997 Ed.). {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.202.162.227 (talk) 11:13, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I mean Almanac, Anthology and Short story collection fantastic dramaturgy. --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 08:18, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Paula Hitler

[edit]

Did Paula Hitler actually do anything notable in her life other than be Adolf Hitler's younger sister? JIP | Talk 11:49, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has an article titled Paula Hitler that describes some aspects of her life. There are also links from that article in the form of footnoted sources and external links that may contain more information. --Jayron32 13:47, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tullie House Museum helmet

[edit]

According to this, that unnamed Roman cavalry helmet is in the Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery, reportedly from the Lower Rhine and dated to around 1st century CE. But searching for "Roman helmet" or "helmet" on their website doesn't show it, only the Crosby Garrett. Elsewhere I found nothing useful about that helmet either. Is it a known thing at all?

Did you try to ask imperiumromanum.edu.pl? Throwaway20191211 (talk) 02:07, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Will try. Brandmeistertalk 11:58, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This offers a view of the helmet from the other side. Another view from almost the same angle, with the same background. This and this appear to be front views. And here is a 3D model from Tullie House; the description offers some more detail.  --Lambiam 13:55, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. So per that description, the helmet was actually loaned from a private collection for display in the Frontier Gallery at Tullie House & Art Gallery Trust. I.e. doesn't belong to Tullie. Brandmeistertalk 16:39, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
