The Roman Helmet's Evolution - DOCUMENTARY

In this episode we take a close look at Roman helmets, from the early republic to the principate to the dominate; all the most broadly used helmets are discussed. This is done in a clear chronological order, starting with the famous old republican Montefortino type, and passing by the Coolus or Hagenau type helmet, the Weisenau type, the Niedermormter, Niederbieber and finally comb type helmet. Finally, the Attic helmet - popular mostly in Hollywood - is adressed as a stand-alone type. The most commonly used system of classification which refers to helmets of the first century AD by the name 'Imperial helmets' is adressed extensively along the way as well.
