Roman Helmets

Roman style helmets are some of the most well-known and popular helmets around. They are known for the cheek plates, visor and plume. Not all Roman Helmets featured plumes, it is believed that Generals or Centurions were the only ones to wear helmets with Plumes and soldiers wore helmets without plumes. The Plumes are generally made from horsehair and are dyed red and go either side to side or front to back in direction. Our Roman Helmets are fully functional and full size and they are great for re-enacting or SCA combat.
