Crested Roman Officer's Helmet This Imperial Gallic-Type 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. Fully wearable, this is a substantial all-steel Helmet. Not a cheap tourist copy but a faithful museum quality Helmet. It is a full size reproduction in a bright steel finish. A fabulous display item! It is full size and wearable!PLEASE NOTE: Not all helmets have crests that attach the same way as in picture. Some crests will have metal tabs that need to be bent out to tuck into slip fitting on helmet.
