Deurne helmet, 4th century.

Acquires Deurne Helmet, 4th Century.

Deurne helmet

An elaborate reconstruction of a late Roman cavalry helmet that was excavated near Deurne, the Netherlands. The rich decorations suggest that its wearer was a very high-ranking officer. A Roman coin also found alongside the helmet indicates the year 319, so the helmet most likely dates from the early 4th century.

The helmet's top is riveted together from six individual pieces (clasps). The cheek pieces are characterised by good mobility. The neck flap is fastened with two leather straps with buckles and can therefore be locked and even removed. The helmet is hand-made from steel and brass and has a very comfortable leather lining. The nose, cheek and neck flaps are lined with red leather on the inside.
