  Abstract:  The grave of a Celtic warrior from Ciumeşti (Satu Mare, Romania), by its distinctive inventory, attracted the interest of scientific community right after its discovery in 1961. The famous iron helmet, decorated with a bronze falcon fitted on the calotte, is still a unique piece among the Celtic finds. Until now it was published in many exhibition catalogues, in syntheses concerning Celtic culture and civilization or in special studies. The main problem is that whole funerary complex was a casual discovery and its inventory was recovered and published in successive stages. This fact determined a series of confusions concerning the interpretation of the grave from Ciumeşti. Therefore it is necessary a typological and chronological re-evaluation of the inventory, which will offer a wider understanding of the grave’s particularities and of its signification for the relationships between the Celts from Carpathians Basin and the Hellenistic eastern Mediterranean area.
