Roman Helmets

Roman centurions, legionnaires, and gladiators wore many kinds of protective headgear during the reign of the Roman Empire. One traditional Roman soldier helmet was called a galea helm, while another was known as the Imperial Gallic helm due to the influence of the Gauls. Many of these historical helmets featured cheek plates and flared out in the back to protect the neck area. Other Roman helms displayed dramatic crests made of real plumes or horse hair, marking the ranking Roman officer. We carry a wide variety of Roman helmets for collectors and reenactors, such as Roman crested helms, gladiator helms, and Greco-Roman helms. We are sure that you will find the right Roman soldier helm to pair with the rest of your Roman armor.
