Roman helmet Niederbieber-Buch, 1-1.2 mm

Product description

The helmet is crafted after a late Roman original, found in a military camp in Rainau-Buch (Germany). It was worn by both infantry and cavalry. This type of helmet offered better protection to the sides of the face compared to the older galea helmets. Helmets of this kind were worn from the 3rd century AD onwards.

Constructed from brass, the helmet features a large neck and brow plate. The cheek plates can be fastened together. It weighs approximately 3 kg and is suitable for a maximum head circumference of 60 cm. It is supplied with a liner for wearing comfort.
