I am selling a reenactor's Roman helmet in original size. This style of helmet with hinged cheek pieces was used in Roman legions from about 100 A.D. till 400 A.D.
If you want to compare our helmet with original helmets, please see Christie's auction of Nov.6, 2002 lot No. 95 or R.Robinson, "The Armour of Imperial Rome", London 1975.
You will find that throughout the centuries helmets in the Roman armies differed in style, but reenactors today prefer the style of our helmet and we trust you will prefer it too.
It fits the head quite nicely (it is 22.5 cms/9 inches long and 18 cms/7 inches wide - head size of abt. 63 cm/24.8" circumference).
It was handmade from 18 gauge steel, trimmed in brass and weighs abt. 4 lbs.
