In this video I'm going to highlight the main reasons why a horned helmet is a bad idea.

  • Great video - I love the animations! I thought it was silly too - it's exactly like the myth of feathers on Gallic helmets, which I will discuss soon.

    @ThisisBarris@ThisisBarris5 жыл бұрын

    • Thank you! Very interesting topic. I remember that gallic feathers since childhood from Asterix and Obelix cartoons. Rather long-standing stereotype. That feathers could have ceremonial or religious meaning. But beyond all doubt, it would be really weird decision to wear such a thing in a battle.

    • I loved Asterix and Obelix when I was a child, and it took me an embarrassing amount of time before I second guessed these stereotypes. All of these stereotypes come from French renaissance paintings, which I will discuss. We believe the feathers come from the helmet's ear protections, since they move like wings.

  • Indeed, people didn't wear horned helmets in battle. But there's this common misconception that military equipment has been 100% pragmatic throughout the ages. This is not at all true. Impractical and obsolete equipment has been used in battlefields from the neolithic period to the late 20th century.

    • yeah, you see Samurai helmets have big horns and stuff all the time. It's just finding that balance between practicality and intimidation. Horns and wings give that oomph factor

  • The horns if they was ever used by the vikings would have been to scare the enemy more than practicality.

  • OFF TOPIC: Hello, I was asking myself if javelin users like Gauls might have used any winged helm. They are often depicted as wearing cloth a kite-like shield and a winged helm. When I was young, many Germanic characters were depicted wearing horned helms, from the fat lady singing opera in cartoons to goth in Astérix and Obélix. Is it Opera fashion that led to this view of antiquity? I mean winged helm is a representation of Hermes which is god of Merchants, and Gauls were good merchants like Scandinavian were. But LUG the god of merchants is depicted wearing a Horned Helm. Is it because he's more a tough man than a warrior because he's a merchant? Maybe someone knows if the horned helm means protection and winged helm means skirmish or somthing. Thanks

    • I suppose that winged helmets could play only a ceremonial role. And I really doubt that they were used in battles. For two reasons. 1st As I said in this video, wings as well as horns are totaly inconvinient and impractical. And in a battle no one wants to be killed. And 2nd. Bronze was extremelly expensive in that period of time. Besides It's very complicated task to forge such a helmet. So I'm absolutely sure that javelin users didn't use them simply because thay were poor and couldn't afford such an expensive purchase. So I think that winged helmets were some kind of analog of nowadays dress uniform. Than you for your question :)
