Product description

The helmet was worn by the elite of the Athenian infantry. Hoplites were soldiers who carried spears measuring 2,5 metres in length, and were well known for their phalanx formation. The equipment of a hoplite was standardised, so only those who could pay for such equipment were able to become such a warrior. The shape of the helmet differed from city-state to city-state. This is a Thracian model that offered a wide field of view, unlike the Corinthian ones, since only the cheeks required protection.

The helmet is supplied with an inlay for wearing comfort. It is well-suited to a head circumference of up to 61 cm, and weighs 2,5 kg. One can therefore appreciate why hoplites donned their equipment — approximately 24 kg in total — only just before battle commenced.
