Enjoy Imperial Gallic Roman Helmet -G- Weisenau Steel With Helmet Cap

Imperial Roman Gallic helmet -g- weisenau made of steel with helmet cap



This Roman helmet (also known as a galea or cassis ) is a faithful replica of a so-called Imperial Gallic helmet of type G Weisenau ( Imperial Gallic G weisenau) from the mid-1st century AD. The original, made of iron and bronze, which is extraordinarily well preserved, was recovered from the Rhine near Mainz-Weisenau and can be admired in the museum of the Andreasstift in Worms. Characteristic features of this special type of helmet were (among other things) the sloping neck guard, the pronounced brow ridges, the brow bar and the circular decorative rosettes.



This authentic replica of a Roman officer's helmet with movable cheek flaps is made of 1.2 mm polished steel and richly decorated with brass applications. As the helmet has no integrated liner, it comes with a cotton padded hood making it comfortable to wear. Small rings on the inside of the cheek flaps also offer the option of attaching a chin strap (not included).



The two-tone black and white crest , which was probably reserved for Roman soldiers with special powers within the cohort (e.g. the optiones , the next highest-ranking officers after the centurions), is made of natural horsehair. With the supplied brass bracket the helmet cap can be properly attached to the Roman helmet.
