Miniature Roman Centurion Helmet-RCH (FW)

The Roman Legionary Helmet or "galea" dates from the 1st Century BC to the 2nd century AD. The Roman Centurian Helmet is hand crafted from steel and brass and features hinged cheek pieces and brass decoration. The name ‘Centurion’ was derived from each charge consisting of 100 men. This style of helmet was no doubt worn by Roman Legionaries during Julius Caesar's invasion of Britain and was worn by the soldiers that garrisoned Hadrian's Wall. The Roman Centurion helmet was only utilized by the Centurion.

Collectable helmet from a Roman soldier.
