Imperial Italic "C" Roman helmet reproduction

This no-nonsense legionary helmet is clearly a transitional piece, showing its evolution from the earlier Celtic "Coolus" model helmets. Two examples of this helmet were found in the Po River at Cremona, and almost certainly were lost during battles of the Roman Civil War of 69 AD at Cremona. A third helmet of this type was also found in northern Germany at Kiel, indicating this may have been a relatively common style of helmet in the mid 1st Century period to which it is dated. This helmet lacks the detailing of most other Imperial Gallic/Italic helmets, such as separate applied earguards, piping on the neckguard and cheekpieces, and lack of a reeded brow piece, etc. indicating it may have been a relatively "cheap" standard-issue headpiece. Still, its provisions for attaching the standard imperial-type helmet crest suggest it was intended for legionary use. No crest included. New, nothing broken or dented.
