The article is devoted to the publication of a bronze helmet, which was found on the territory of the modern Krasnodar region and now is kept in private Moscow collection. The helmet is a late variety of the widespread Montefortino type (subtype C, or Buggenum) and dates from around the middle 1st century BC. On the back of the helmet there is a stamp with a relief monogram, which consists of the Greek letters delta, eta, tau, alpha, ro, upsilon and is completely identical to the monogram found on the coins of King Deiotarus (64–40 BC). The presence of the Deiotarus monogram proves that the helmet was made in the royal workshops
