Attic Hoplite Helmet

Gift Attic Hoplite Helmet

Attic hoplite helmet with adjustable leather entry



This helmet is modeled after the Phrygian helmet, which was primarily used during the Hellenistic period of Greek history. It was worn during this period not only by the Athenians, as the title would incorrectly suggest, but by many different city-states across the Hellenistic world. Originally intended to imitate the type of cap worn by the Phrygians of Asia Minor, this helmet was commonly worn by infantrymen in the Macedonian phalanx under Alexander and his successors.



This steel version is made in a bronze finish. The originals would have been made entirely of bronze. The shape and style of this replica is a very good representation of the archaeological examples.
