Product description
The helmet is a replica of a 4th century cavalry helmet found in Deurne (The Netherlands). Presumably, it was worn by Germanic auxiliae during the Late-Roman period. A Roman coin found next to the helmet dates from 319 AD. The helmet displays a considerable number of Germanic and even Persian influences, and was in all likelihood the helmet of a Germanic aristocrat.
Crafted from brass and lined with red leather, the helmet is furnished with a short neck plate, a nose piece, and two cheek plates. It is decorated with stylised motifs that were principally employed in Northern Europe during this period. The Deurne helmet is well-suited to head circumferences of up to 61 cm, and weighs approximately 3 kg.
