Gladiator Victory Parade Helmet
	Gladiators could have been either prisoners of war, slaves or criminals condemned to gladiator schools (ad ludum gladiatorium). There were also a number of volunteer gladiators (auctoratus). By the end of the republic as many as half of the gladiators were auctoratii.   One of the benefits of becoming a gladiator for slaves and criminals is that they were then allowed to have relationships with women and although they themselves could never become Roman citizens - marriages and children become recognised under Roman law. This helmet was was most likely worn during a victory parade. The brass face plates on this helmet lock together using a hinged pin.   Adult size Price:  -	QTY:

Centurion Imperial Gallic - Type H with plume
	Size: 65cm circ Weight:1.7kg This helmet is a modern reconstruction of a second century centurion's helmet. The embossed eyebrows and the circular brass bosses are typical of Imperial Gallic helmets. There are several different styles of Imperial Gallic helmets and it was more than likely a matter of personal preference and/or armoury issue as to what type was worn by a particular Roman soldier.   Most of the helmets used by legionaries had a crest holder. The crests were usually made of plumes or horse hair.   There is some evidence (Vegetius writings and some sculptures) that legionaries had their crests mounted longitudinally and centurions had them mounted transversally.   There is evidence that crests were not used in combat but only in parades, except by centurions who probably wore them all the time.

Roman Imperial Gallic - Type G
	The original example of this distinct type was found in a cave near Hebron, Israel, and as it was probably war-loot of the Jewish Zealots of the Bar Kochba Revolt under Hadrian, can be closely dated. It is the earliest Roman helmet discovered in which the post-Dacian Wars crossbars were probably part of the original construction, as evidenced by the brass lunate decorations applied between the crossbars. During the time of the Dacian Wars with Germanic tribes, Imperial Roman soldiers began reinforcing their helmets with added plates and crossbars. These additions added strength along with beauty and protected against the German's heavy swords and axes. Price:  -	QTY:
