Product description
A luxurious and beautiful Roman helmet, a masterpiece for your Roman helmet collection. The helmet is a replica of an original from 50–75 AD, which was discovered around 1870 in Witcham Gravel, England. The original is currently on display at the British Museum, London. It is classified as a Roman auxiliae cavalry type B helmet and is the only surviving example of the type B helmets. It also has characteristics of the Imperial galea. Crafted from 1.2 mm (18 gauge) steel with a brass centrepiece and decorations, the helmet is finished to a high standard. The cheek flaps are fitted with rings, permitting a leather lace to be employed for fastening the helmet. The yellow helmet crest, or crista, is based on an example in the Ars Tactica by the Greek historian Arrian. The helmet crest is constructed from real horsehair and is supplied inclusive of 3 screws for attaching it to the helmet; the holes in the helmet are already pre-drilled.
