Product Description

This Imperial Gallic type Roman Centurion helmet was the choice of officers who led the mighty roman armies. The flamboyant crest actually served a purpose for the conspicuously practical Romans; it made the officer more visible to his men while offering the illusion of height that helped him appear more commanding. This wearable Roman Centurion helmet is made in 18 gauge polished steel and comes complete with Red hair crest. This Roman Centurion Helmet measures 18 inches and is widely used as part of the Roman costume in ancient battle reenactments. Helmet stand sold and cotton insert sold separately. Item# IR80612

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a Historical Replica, September 30, 2006

This review is from: Roman Centurion Helmet Costume Reenactment (Misc.)

This looks like a Windlass Steel pseudo-Roman design. The back of the helmet neck guard should not have the bulbous shape. The helmet seems to be a fantasy mixture of Italic and Gallic styles. The brass eyebrows are wrong, the brow guard is wrong. The cheekguards are wrong. The Horsehair crest should have a wooden crestbox, not a metal one, and if it is a Centurions creat it would be worn across, transversly, not from front to back. This crest holder shown would need modifications to make that work at all. It is NOT a CENTURION style helmet crest.

This helmet is not an actual recreation of any currently known Roman helmet. It is not usable for Roman re-enactors. It is okay for Hollywood and theater, and fantasy LARPS and costumes.

For more information on Roman Helmets look for "Roman Military Equipment (2nd edition)" by Coulston and Bishop, or even the old classic "Armour of Imperial Rome" by Robinson. Run a search at Amazon.com for 'Roman Military Equipment'.

It looks great but the ear guards broke off within 5 minutes of wearing it.
