Steel Helmet of a Legionary of the Ancient Roman Empire

The Ancient Roman Empire Steel Legionary Helmet is not just a piece of armor; it symbolizes the strength and resilience of the mighty Roman legions. Each helmet is meticulously HANDCRAFTED from 18-gauge mild steel, carefully crafted to provide superior protection and comfort during your battles or reenactments. With a circumference of approximately 66 cm without the liner (and 63 cm with the liner), this helmet fits almost all head sizes, ensuring that all participants can join in the spirit of the Empire. The maximum length from front to back is approximately 34 cm, while the nape plate measures approximately 25 cm wide, providing exquisite coverage. The approximately 15 x 12 cm cheek plates protect the sides of the face without obstructing your field of vision. To ensure the helmet remains secure during intense battles, a sturdy chin strap, adorned with a handsome buckle, keeps it firmly in place.

This helmet not only provides unparalleled protection but also showcases the artistry of ancient Roman craftsmanship. Each piece is treated with a layer of protective oil when packaged, preventing corrosion until it reaches your hands. This essential layer can be easily removed with oil remover or a dry cloth, ensuring your helmet is pristine for your next event.

Historically, legionaries were renowned for their endurance, marching hundreds of miles across diverse terrain under the sun, all while fighting enemies and braving the elements. The design of this helmet reflects those challenges, allowing maximum protection from projectiles and impacts, while ensuring their vision and breathing are never compromised. After all, true soldiers need to be aware of their surroundings during combat.

Imagine wearing this iconic helmet combined with a Lorica hamata at your next LARP or historical reenactment. The combination not only provides a historically accurate representation but also offers an optimal appearance. You can authentically embody the Roman legions while enjoying the freedom of movement necessary for active participation. Our Roman legionary helmet strikes the perfect balance between robust protection and flexibility, making it ideal for anyone looking to step into the shoes of a legendary soldier of the empire.

This helmet has evolved throughout history, from designs dating back to primitive bronze helmets, which became more sophisticated over time in the Roman Empire. It has absorbed influences from Celtic designs, essential to the legionaries who served under Augustus, Trajan, Hadrian, and other revered emperors. In essence, when you wear this helmet, you are wearing centuries of military heritage, endurance, and unmatched spirit.
