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.
