Being in the legion, you need protection from projectiles and blows without impeding your vision or your breathing! After all, you legionnaires are well known for walking hundreds of miles along the Empire's path from one battlefield to the next, and walking miles has never been easy for someone wearing a fully enclosed helmet.
The Roman helmet used during the Empire is the product of a slow evolution from the first simple bronze Italian helmet to the Celtic-influenced helmet worn by the legionnaires of Augustus, Trajan, Hadrian and all the other famous Roman emperors.
The fact is that this extraordinary helmet is surprisingly versatile, striking the perfect balance between protection and mobility. Just combine it with one of our lorica hamata and you will have an optimal combination for your next LARP or re-enactment! A great look without hindering your vision and freedom of movement.
